Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 3.4.2

AVŚ 3.4.2

त्वां विशो वृणतां राज्याय त्वाम् इमाः प्रदिशः पञ्च देवीः । वर्ष्मन् राष्ट्रस्य ककुदि श्रयस्व ततो न उग्रो वि भजा वसूनि ॥२॥

tvāṃ viśo vṛṇatāṃ rājyāya tvām imāḥ pradiśaḥ pañca devīḥ | varṣman rāṣṭrasya kakudi śrayasva tato na ugro vi bhajā vasūni ||2||

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

Thee let the people (víças) choose unto kingship (rājyà), thee these five divine directions; rest (çri) at the summit of royalty, at the pinnacle (kakúd); from thence, formidable, share out good things to us.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
