Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 3.10.12

AVŚ 3.10.12

एकाष्टका तपसा तप्यमाना जजान गर्भं महिमानम् इन्द्रम् । तेन देवा व्य् असहन्त शत्रून् हन्ता दस्यूनाम् अभवच् छचीपतिः ॥१२॥

ekāṣṭakā tapasā tapyamānā jajāna garbhaṃ mahimānam indram | tena devā vy asahanta śatrūn hantā dasyūnām abhavac chacīpatiḥ ||12||

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

The sole áṣṭakā, paining herself (tapyá-) with penance, generated an embryo, a greatness, Indra; by him the gods overcame their foes; slayer of the barbarians became the lord of might (çácī-).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
