Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 20.52

वयं घ त्वा सुतावन्त आपो न वृक्तबर्हिषः । पवित्रस्य प्रस्रवणेषु वृत्रहन् परि स्तोतार आसते ॥१॥

vayaṃ gha tvā sutāvanta āpo na vṛktabarhiṣaḥ | pavitrasya prasravaṇeṣu vṛtrahan pari stotāra āsate ||1||

We compass thee like waters, we whose grass is trimmed and Soma pressed. Here where the filter pours its stream, thy worshippers round thee, O Vrtra-slayer, sit.

svaranti tvā sute naro vaso nireka ukthinaḥ | kadā sutaṃ tṛṣāṇa oka ā gama indra svabdīva vaṃsagaḥ ||2||

Men, Vasu! by the Soma, with lauds call thee to the foremost place: When comest thou athirst unto the juice as home, O Indra, like a bellowing bull?

kaṇvebhir dhṛṣṇav ā dhṛsad vājaṃ darṣi sahasriṇam | piśaṅgarūpaṃ maghavan vicarṣaṇe makṣū gomantam īmahe ||3||

Boldly, Bold Hero, bring us spoil in thousands for the Kanvas' sake. O active Maghavan, with eager prayer we crave the yellow-hued with store ol kine.
