Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 19.3

दिवस् पृथिव्याः पर्य् अन्तरिक्षाद् वनस्पतिभ्यो अध्य् ओषधीभ्यः । यत्रयत्र विभृतो जातवेदास् तत स्तुतो जुषमाणो न एहि ॥१॥

divas pṛthivyāḥ pary antarikṣād vanaspatibhyo adhy oṣadhībhyaḥ | yatrayatra vibhṛto jātavedās tata stuto juṣamāṇo na ehi ||1||

Forth from the sky, from the earth, from the atmosphere, out of the forest trees, the herbs—whithersoever borne, O Jātavedas, come thou, enjoying, thence to us.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यस् ते अप्सु महिमा यो वनेषु य ओषधीषु पशुष्व् अप्स्व् अन्तः । अग्ने सर्वास् तन्वः सं रभस्व ताभिर् न एहि द्रविणोदा अजस्रः ॥२॥

yas te apsu mahimā yo vaneṣu ya oṣadhīṣu paśuṣv apsv antaḥ | agne sarvās tanvaḥ saṃ rabhasva tābhir na ehi draviṇodā ajasraḥ ||2||

What thy greatness is in the waters, what in the woods, what in the herbs, in the cattle, within the waters—all thy bodies (tanū́), O Agni, grasp together; with them come to us, a giver of property, unfailing.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यस् ते देवेषु महिमा स्वर्गो या ते तनुः पितृष्व् आविवेश । पुष्टिर् या ते मनुष्येषु पप्रथे ऽग्ने तया रयिम् अस्मासु धेहि ॥३॥

yas te deveṣu mahimā svargo yā te tanuḥ pitṛṣv āviveśa | puṣṭir yā te manuṣyeṣu paprathe 'gne tayā rayim asmāsu dhehi ||3||

What thy heavenly (svargá) greatness is, among the gods, what body of thine entered into the Fathers, what prosperity of thine was spread among men (manuṣyà)—therewith, O Agni, assign wealth to us.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

श्रुत्कर्णाय कवये वेद्याय वचोभिर् वाकैर् उप यामि रातिम् । यतो भयम् अभयं तन् नो अस्त्व् अव देवानां यज हेडो अग्ने ॥४॥

śrutkarṇāya kavaye vedyāya vacobhir vākair upa yāmi rātim | yato bhayam abhayaṃ tan no astv ava devānāṃ yaja heḍo agne ||4||

To him of hearing ears, the poet, worthy to be known, I apply for gifts (rātí) with words, with speeches; whence [there is] fear, be there no fear for us; pacify (ava-yaj), O Agni, the wrath (héḍas) of the gods.
