Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 2.9

दशवृक्ष मुञ्चेमं रक्षसो ग्राह्या अधि यैनं जग्राह पर्वसु । अथो एनम् वनस्पते जीवानां लोकम् उन् नय ॥१॥

daśavṛkṣa muñcemaṃ rakṣaso grāhyā adhi yainaṃ jagrāha parvasu | atho enam vanaspate jīvānāṃ lokam un naya ||1||

O thou of ten trees, release this man from the demon, from the seizure (grā́hi) that hath seized him in the joints; then, O forest tree, conduct him up to the world of the living.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

आगाद् उद् अगाद् अयं जीवानां व्रातम् अप्य् अगात् । अभूद् उ पुत्राणां पिता नृणां च भगवत्तमः ॥२॥

āgād ud agād ayaṃ jīvānāṃ vrātam apy agāt | abhūd u putrāṇāṃ pitā nṛṇāṃ ca bhagavattamaḥ ||2||

This man hath come, hath arisen, hath gone unto the troop (vrā́ta) of the living; he hath become of sons the father and of men (nṛ́) the most fortunate.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अधीतीर् अध्य् अगाद् अयम् अधि जीवपुरा अगान् । शतं ह्य् अस्य भिषजः सहस्रम् उत वीरुधः ॥३॥

adhītīr adhy agād ayam adhi jīvapurā agān | śataṃ hy asya bhiṣajaḥ sahasram uta vīrudhaḥ ||3||

He hath attained (adhi-gā) attainments; he hath attained (adhi-gam) the strongholds (-purā) of the living; for a hundred healers are his, also a thousand plants.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

देवास् ते चीतिम् अविदन् ब्रह्माण उत वीरुधः । चीतिं ते विश्वे देवा अविदन् भूम्याम् अधि ॥४॥

devās te cītim avidan brahmāṇa uta vīrudhaḥ | cītiṃ te viśve devā avidan bhūmyām adhi ||4||

The gods have found thy gathering (? cītí), the priests (brahmán) and the plants; all the gods have found thy gathering upon the earth.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यश् चकार स निष् करत् स एव सुभिषक्तमः । स एव तुभ्यं भेषजानि कृणवद् भिषजा शुचिः ॥५॥

yaś cakāra sa niṣ karat sa eva subhiṣaktamaḥ | sa eva tubhyaṃ bheṣajāni kṛṇavad bhiṣajā śuciḥ ||5||

Whoso made, he shall unmake; he verily is best of healers; he himself, clean, shall make for thee remedies, with the healer.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
