Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 3.24.3

AVŚ 3.24.3

इमा याः पञ्च प्रदिशो मानवीः पञ्च कृष्टयः । वृष्टे शापं नदीर् इवेह स्फातिं समावहान् ॥३॥

imā yāḥ pañca pradiśo mānavīḥ pañca kṛṣṭayaḥ | vṛṣṭe śāpaṃ nadīr iveha sphātiṃ samāvahān ||3||

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

These five directions that there are, the five races (kṛṣṭí) descended from Manu (mānavī́)—may they bring fatness (sphātí) together here, as streams [bring] drift when it has rained.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
