Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.2.2

AVŚ 4.2.2

यः प्राणतो निमिषतो महित्वैको राजा जगतो बभूव । यस्य छायामृतं यस्य मृत्युः कस्मै देवाय हविषा विधेम ॥२॥

yaḥ prāṇato nimiṣato mahitvaiko rājā jagato babhūva | yasya chāyāmṛtaṃ yasya mṛtyuḥ kasmai devāya haviṣā vidhema ||2||

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

He who by his greatness became sole king of the breathing, winking animal creation (jágat); of whom immortality (amṛ́tam), of whom death [is] the shadow—to what god may we pay worship with oblation?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
