Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 2.28.1

AVŚ 2.28.1

तुभ्यम् एव जरिमन् वर्धताम् अयम् मेमम् अन्ये मृत्यवो हिंसिषुः शतं ये । मातेव पुत्रं प्रमना उपस्थे मित्र एनं मित्रियात् पात्व् अंहसः ॥१॥

tubhyam eva jariman vardhatām ayam memam anye mṛtyavo hiṃsiṣuḥ śataṃ ye | māteva putraṃ pramanā upasthe mitra enaṃ mitriyāt pātv aṃhasaḥ ||1||

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

For just thee, O old age, let this one grow; let not the other deaths, that are a hundred, harm him; as a forethoughtful mother in her lap a son, let Mitra protect him from distress that comes from a friend (mitríya).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
