Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 3.13.3

AVŚ 3.13.3

अपकामं स्यन्दमाना अवीवरत वो हि कम् । इन्द्रो वः शक्तिभिर् देवीस् तस्माद् वार् नाम वो हितम् ॥३॥

apakāmaṃ syandamānā avīvarata vo hi kam | indro vaḥ śaktibhir devīs tasmād vār nāma vo hitam ||3||

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

As ye were flowing perversely (apakāmám), since Indra verily hindered (var) you by his powers, you, ye divine ones, therefore the name water (vā́r) is assigned you.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
