Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 19.4

AVŚ 19.4.1

याम् आहुतिं प्रथमाम् अथर्वा या जाता या हव्यम् अकृणोज् जातवेदाः । तां त एतां प्रथमो जोहवीमि ताभिष् टुप्तो वहतु हव्यम् अग्निर् अग्नये स्वाह ॥१॥

yām āhutiṃ prathamām atharvā yā jātā yā havyam akṛṇoj jātavedāḥ | tāṃ ta etāṃ prathamo johavīmi tābhiṣ ṭupto vahatu havyam agnir agnaye svāha ||1||

What oblation (ā́huti) Atharvan sacrificed first, with what one Jātavedas made an offering, that same do I first call loudly for thee; gratified with that, let Agni carry the offering: hail to Agni.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 19.4.2

आकूतिं देवीं सुभगां पुरो दधे चित्तस्य माता सुहवा नो अस्तु । याम् आशाम् एमि केवली सा मे अस्तु विदेयम् एनां मनसि प्रविष्टाम् ॥२॥

ākūtiṃ devīṃ subhagāṃ puro dadhe cittasya mātā suhavā no astu | yām āśām emi kevalī sā me astu videyam enāṃ manasi praviṣṭām ||2||

Heavenly fortunate design (ā́kūti) do I put forward (puro-dhā); let the mother of intent (cittá) be easy of invocation for us; to what expectation I go, be it entirely mine; may I find it entered into [my] mind.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 19.4.3

आकूत्या नो बृहस्पत आकूत्या न उपा गहि । अथो भगस्य नो धेह्य् अथो नः सुहवो भव ॥३॥

ākūtyā no bṛhaspata ākūtyā na upā gahi | atho bhagasya no dhehy atho naḥ suhavo bhava ||3||

With design to us, O Brihaspati, with design come thou unto us; then assign to us of fortune (bhága); then be easy of invocation for us.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 19.4.4

बृहस्पतिर् म आकूतिम् आङ्गिरसः प्रति जानातु वाचम् एताम् । यस्य देवा देवताः संबभूवुः स सुप्रणीताः कामो अन्व् एत्व् अस्मान् ॥४॥

bṛhaspatir ma ākūtim āṅgirasaḥ prati jānātu vācam etām | yasya devā devatāḥ saṃbabhūvuḥ sa supraṇītāḥ kāmo anv etv asmān ||4||

Let Brihaspati acknowledge my design, the son of An̄giras this [my] speech; of whom the gods, the deities, came into being, let that desire (kā́ma), well-conducting, go after us.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
