Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·3·3.22
हस्तिवर्चसं प्रथतां बृहद् यशो अदित्या यत् तन्वः संबभूव । तत् सर्वे सम् अदुर् मह्यम् एतद् विश्वे देवा अदितिः सजोषाः ॥१॥
hastivarcasaṃ prathatāṃ bṛhad yaśo adityā yat tanvaḥ saṃbabhūva | tat sarve sam adur mahyam etad viśve devā aditiḥ sajoṣāḥ ||1||
Let elephant-splendor, great glory, spread itself, which came into being from Aditi's body; that same have all together given to me—all the gods, Aditi, in unison.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
मित्रश् च वरुणश् चेन्द्रो रुद्रश् च चेततु । देवासो विश्वधायसस् ते माञ्जन्तु वर्चसा ॥२॥
mitraś ca varuṇaś cendro rudraś ca cetatu | devāso viśvadhāyasas te māñjantu varcasā ||2||
Let both Mitra and Varuṇa, Indra and Rudra, [each] take notice; the all-nourishing gods—let them anoint me with splendor.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
येन हस्ती वर्चसा संबभूव येन राजा मनुष्येस्व् अप्स्व् अन्तः । येन देवा देवताम् अग्र आयन् तेन माम् अद्य वर्चसाग्ने वर्चस्विनं कृणु ॥३॥
yena hastī varcasā saṃbabhūva yena rājā manuṣyesv apsv antaḥ | yena devā devatām agra āyan tena mām adya varcasāgne varcasvinaṃ kṛṇu ||3||
With what splendor the elephant came into being, with what the king among men (manuṣyà), among waters, with what the gods in the beginning went to godhood—with that splendor do thou, O Agni, now make me splendid.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यत् ते वर्चो जातवेदो बृहद् भवत्य् आहुतेः । यावत् सूर्यस्य वर्च आसुरस्य च हस्तिनः । तावन् मे अश्विना वर्च आ धत्तां पुष्करस्रजा ॥४॥
yat te varco jātavedo bṛhad bhavaty āhuteḥ | yāvat sūryasya varca āsurasya ca hastinaḥ | tāvan me aśvinā varca ā dhattāṃ puṣkarasrajā ||4||
What great splendor becomes thine, O Jātavedas, from the offering; how great splendor there is of the sun, and of the ásura -like elephant—so great splendor let the (two) Açvins, lotus-wreathed, assign unto me.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यावच् चतस्रः प्रदिशश् चक्षुर् यावत् समश्नुते । तावत् समैत्व् इन्द्रियं मयि तद् धस्तिवर्चसम् ॥५॥
yāvac catasraḥ pradiśaś cakṣur yāvat samaśnute | tāvat samaitv indriyaṃ mayi tad dhastivarcasam ||5||
As far as the four directions, as far as the eye reaches (sam-aç), let so great force (indriyá) come together, that elephant-splendor, in me.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
हस्ती मृगाणां सुषदाम् अतिष्ठावान् बभूव हि । तस्य भगेन वर्चसाभि षिञ्चामि माम् अहम् ॥६॥
hastī mṛgāṇāṃ suṣadām atiṣṭhāvān babhūva hi | tasya bhagena varcasābhi ṣiñcāmi mām aham ||6||
Since the elephant has become the superior (atiṣṭhā́vant) of the comfortable (? suṣád) wild beasts, with his fortune [and] splendor do I pour (sic) upon myself.
