Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 19.2

शं त आपो हैमवतीः शम् उ ते सन्तूत्स्याः । शं ते सनिष्यदा आपः शम् उ ते सन्तु वर्ष्याः ॥१॥

śaṃ ta āpo haimavatīḥ śam u te santūtsyāḥ | śaṃ te saniṣyadā āpaḥ śam u te santu varṣyāḥ ||1||

Weal to thee [be] the waters from the snowy mountains (hāimavatá), and weal be to thee those from the fountains; weal to thee the running waters, and weal to thee be those of the rain.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

शं त आपो धन्वन्याः शं ते सन्त्व् अनूप्याः । शं ते खनित्रिमा आपः शं याः कुम्भेभिर् आभृताः ॥२॥

śaṃ ta āpo dhanvanyāḥ śaṃ te santv anūpyāḥ | śaṃ te khanitrimā āpaḥ śaṃ yāḥ kumbhebhir ābhṛtāḥ ||2||

Weal to thee [be] the waters of the wastes, weal be to thee those of the marshes; weal to thee the waters of the canals (khanitríma), weal those brought with vessels.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अनभ्रयः खनमाना विप्रा गम्भीरे अपसः । भिषग्भ्यो भिषक्तरा आपो अछा वदामसि ॥३॥

anabhrayaḥ khanamānā viprā gambhīre apasaḥ | bhiṣagbhyo bhiṣaktarā āpo achā vadāmasi ||3||

Digging for themselves without shovels, keen (vípra), working in the deep (gambhīrá), more healing than the healers (bhiṣáj), the waters we address.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अपाम् अह दिव्यानाम् अपां स्रोतस्यानाम् । अपाम् अह प्रणेजने ऽश्वा भवथ वाजिनः ॥४॥

apām aha divyānām apāṃ srotasyānām | apām aha praṇejane 'śvā bhavatha vājinaḥ ||4||

Of the waters indeed from the sky, of the waters from the streams (srotasyà)—in the forth-washing indeed of the waters, ye become vigorous (vājín) horses.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

ता अपः शिवा अपो ऽयक्ष्मंकरणीर् अपः । यथैव तृप्यते मयस् तास् त आ दत्त भेसजीः ॥५॥

tā apaḥ śivā apo 'yakṣmaṃkaraṇīr apaḥ | yathaiva tṛpyate mayas tās ta ā datta bhesajīḥ ||5||

Weal [be] to thee the waters, propitious the waters, effecting freedom from yákṣma the waters; just as joy to one who thirsts, [be] they for thee healers of dislocation.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
