AVŚ 20.25.5

यज्ञैर् अथर्वा प्रथमः पथस् तते ततः सूर्यो व्रतपा वेन आजनि । आ गा आजद् उशना काव्यः सचा यमस्य जातम् अमृतं यजामहे ॥५॥

yajñair atharvā prathamaḥ pathas tate tataḥ sūryo vratapā vena ājani | ā gā ājad uśanā kāvyaḥ sacā yamasya jātam amṛtaṃ yajāmahe ||5||

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

Atharvan first by sacrifices laid the paths then, guardian of the Law, sprang up the loving Sun. Usana Kavya straightway hither drove the kine. Let us with offerings honour Yama's deathless birth.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 1.83.5; the wording of this text may differ in places.
