Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 2.29

पार्थिवस्य रसे देवा भगस्य तन्वो बले । आयुष्यम् अस्मा अग्निः सूर्यो वर्च आ धाद् बृहस्पतिः ॥१॥

pārthivasya rase devā bhagasya tanvo bale | āyuṣyam asmā agniḥ sūryo varca ā dhād bṛhaspatiḥ ||1||

In the sap of what is earthly, O gods, in the strength of Bhaga's self (tanū́)—length of life to this man may Agni, Sūrya—splendor may Brihaspati impart.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

आयुर् अस्मै धेहि जातवेदः प्रजां त्वष्टर् अधिनिधेहि अस्मै । रायस् पोषं सवितर् आ सुवास्मै शतं जीवाति शरदस् तवायम् ॥२॥

āyur asmai dhehi jātavedaḥ prajāṃ tvaṣṭar adhinidhehi asmai | rāyas poṣaṃ savitar ā suvāsmai śataṃ jīvāti śaradas tavāyam ||2||

Length of life to him assign thou, O Jātavedas; progeny, O Tvashṭar, do thou bestow on him; abundance of wealth, O Savitar ('impeller'), do thou impel to him; may he live a hundred autumns of thee.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

आशीर् ण ऊर्जम् उत सौप्रजास्त्वं दक्षं धत्तं द्रविणं सचेतसौ । जयम् क्षेत्राणि सहसायम् इन्द्र कृण्वानो अन्यान् अधरान्त् सपत्नान् ॥३॥

āśīr ṇa ūrjam uta sauprajāstvaṃ dakṣaṃ dhattaṃ draviṇaṃ sacetasau | jayam kṣetrāṇi sahasāyam indra kṛṇvāno anyān adharānt sapatnān ||3||

Our blessing [assign him] refreshment, possession of excellent progeny; do ye (two), accordant, assign [him] dexterity, property (dráviṇa); [let] this man [be] conquering fields with power, O Indra, putting (kṛ) other rivals beneath him.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

इन्द्रेण दत्तो वरुणेन शिष्टो मरुद्भिर् उग्रः प्रहितो नो आगन् । एष वां द्यावापृथिवी उपस्थे मा क्षुधन् मा तृषत् ॥४॥

indreṇa datto varuṇena śiṣṭo marudbhir ugraḥ prahito no āgan | eṣa vāṃ dyāvāpṛthivī upasthe mā kṣudhan mā tṛṣat ||4||

Given by Indra, instructed by Varuṇa, sent forth by the Maruts, hath the formidable one come to us; let this man, in your lap, O heaven-and-earth, not hunger, not thirst.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

ऊर्जम् अस्मा ऊर्जस्वती धत्तं पयो अस्मै पयस्वती धत्तम् । ऊर्जम् अस्मै द्यावपृथिवी अधातां विश्वे देवा मरुत ऊर्जम् आपः ॥५॥

ūrjam asmā ūrjasvatī dhattaṃ payo asmai payasvatī dhattam | ūrjam asmai dyāvapṛthivī adhātāṃ viśve devā maruta ūrjam āpaḥ ||5||

Assign refreshment to him, ye (two) that are rich in refreshment; assign milk to him, ye rich in milk; refreshment have heaven-and-earth assigned to him, [have] all the gods, the Maruts, refreshment [have] the waters.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

शिवाभिष् टे हृदयं तर्पयाम्य् अनमीवो मोदिषीष्ठाः सुवर्चाः । सवासिनौ पिबतां मन्थम् एतम् अश्विनो रूपं परिधाय मायाम् ॥६॥

śivābhiṣ ṭe hṛdayaṃ tarpayāmy anamīvo modiṣīṣṭhāḥ suvarcāḥ | savāsinau pibatāṃ mantham etam aśvino rūpaṃ paridhāya māyām ||6||

With propitious things (f.) I gratify thy heart; mayest thou enjoy thyself (mud) free from disease, very splendid; let the two that dwell together (? savāsín) drink this stir-about (manthá), putting on [as] magic the form of the (two) Açvins.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

इन्द्र एतां ससृजे विद्धो अग्र ऊर्जां स्वधाम् अजरां सा त एषा । तया त्वं जीव शरदः सुवर्चा मा त आ सुस्रोद् भिषजस् ते अक्रन् ॥७॥

indra etāṃ sasṛje viddho agra ūrjāṃ svadhām ajarāṃ sā ta eṣā | tayā tvaṃ jīva śaradaḥ suvarcā mā ta ā susrod bhiṣajas te akran ||7||

Indra in the beginning, being pierced, created this refreshment, [this] unaging svadhā́; it is thine here; by it live thou for autumns, very splendid; be there no flux of thee; the healers have made [it] for thee.
