Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 18.1.21

AVŚ 18.1.21

अध त्यं द्रप्सं विभ्वं विचक्षनं विर् आभरद् इषिरः श्येनो अध्वरे । यदी विशो वृणते दस्मम् आर्या अग्निं होतारम् अध धीर् अजायत ॥२१॥

adha tyaṃ drapsaṃ vibhvaṃ vicakṣanaṃ vir ābharad iṣiraḥ śyeno adhvare | yadī viśo vṛṇate dasmam āryā agniṃ hotāram adha dhīr ajāyata ||21||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Then that mighty (vibhū́) conspicuous drop did the bird, the lively falcon, bring at the sacrifice; if the Aryan tribes (víç) choose the wondrous one, Agni, [as] hótṛ, then prayer (dhī́) was born.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
