Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 2.13.1

AVŚ 2.13.1

आयुर्दा अग्ने जरसं वृणानो घृतप्रतीको घृतपृष्ठो अग्ने । घृतं पीत्वा मधु चारु गव्यं पितेव पुत्रान् अभि रक्षताद् इमम् ॥१॥

āyurdā agne jarasaṃ vṛṇāno ghṛtapratīko ghṛtapṛṣṭho agne | ghṛtaṃ pītvā madhu cāru gavyaṃ piteva putrān abhi rakṣatād imam ||1||

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

Giving life-time, O Agni, choosing old age; ghee-fronted, ghee-backed, O Agni—having drunk the sweet pleasant (cā́ru) ghee of the cow, do thou afterward defend (rakṣ) this [boy] as a father his sons.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
