Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 2.26

एह यन्तु पशवो ये परेयुर् वायुर् येषां सहचारं जुजोष । त्वष्टा येषां रूपधेयानि वेदास्मिन् तान् गोष्ठे सविता नि यछतु ॥१॥

eha yantu paśavo ye pareyur vāyur yeṣāṃ sahacāraṃ jujoṣa | tvaṣṭā yeṣāṃ rūpadheyāni vedāsmin tān goṣṭhe savitā ni yachatu ||1||

Hither let the cattle come that went away, whose companionship (sahacārá) Vāyu (the wind) enjoyed, whose form-givings Tvashṭar knows; in this cow-stall let Savitar make them fast (ni-yam).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

इमं गोष्ठं पशवः सं स्रवन्तु बृहस्पतिर् आ नयतु प्रजानन् । सिनीवाली नयत्व् आग्रम् एषाम् आजग्मुषो अनुमते नि यछ ॥२॥

imaṃ goṣṭhaṃ paśavaḥ saṃ sravantu bṛhaspatir ā nayatu prajānan | sinīvālī nayatv āgram eṣām ājagmuṣo anumate ni yacha ||2||

To this cow-stall let cattle flow-together ⌊stream together⌋ (sam-sru); let Brihaspati, foreknowing, lead them hither; let Sinīvālī lead hither the van (ágra) of them; make them fast when they have come, O Anumati.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

सं सं स्रवन्तु पशवः सम् अश्वाः सम् उ पूरुषाः । सं धान्यस्य या स्फातिः संस्राव्येण हविषा जुहोमि ॥३॥

saṃ saṃ sravantu paśavaḥ sam aśvāḥ sam u pūruṣāḥ | saṃ dhānyasya yā sphātiḥ saṃsrāvyeṇa haviṣā juhomi ||3||

Together, together let cattle flow ⌊stream⌋, together horses, and together men, together the fatness that is of grain; I offer with an oblation of confluence.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

सं सिञ्चामि गवां क्षीरम् सम् आज्येन बलम् रसम् । संसिक्ता अस्माकं वीरा ध्रुवा गावो मयि गोपतौ ॥४॥

saṃ siñcāmi gavāṃ kṣīram sam ājyena balam rasam | saṃsiktā asmākaṃ vīrā dhruvā gāvo mayi gopatau ||4||

I pour together the milk (kṣīrá) of kine, together strength, sap, with sacrificial butter; poured together are our heroes; fixed are the kine in me ⌊rather, with me⌋ [as] kine-lord.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

आ हरामि गवां क्षीरम् आहार्षं धान्यं रसम् । आहृता अस्माकं वीरा आ पत्नीर् इदम् अस्तकम् ॥५॥

ā harāmi gavāṃ kṣīram āhārṣaṃ dhānyaṃ rasam | āhṛtā asmākaṃ vīrā ā patnīr idam astakam ||5||

I bring (ā-hṛ) the milk of kine; I have brought the sap of grain; brought are our heroes, our wives, to this home (ástaka).
