Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 18.3.22

AVŚ 18.3.22

सुकर्मानः सुरुचो देवयन्तो अयो न देवा जनिमा धमन्तः । शुचन्तो अग्निं वावृधन्त इन्द्रम् उर्वीम् गव्यां परिषदं नो अक्रन् ॥२२॥

sukarmānaḥ suruco devayanto ayo na devā janimā dhamantaḥ | śucanto agniṃ vāvṛdhanta indram urvīm gavyāṃ pariṣadaṃ no akran ||22||

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

Gods, doing holy acts, devout, resplendent, smelting like ore their human generations. Enkindling Agni and exalting Indra, they came encompassing the stall of cattle.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 4.2.17; the wording of this text may differ in places.
