Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.2.6

AVŚ 4.2.6

आपो अग्रे विश्वम् आवन् गर्भं दधाना अमृता ऋतज्ञाः । यासु देवीष्व् अधि देव आसीत् कस्मै देवाय हविषा विधेम ॥६॥

āpo agre viśvam āvan garbhaṃ dadhānā amṛtā ṛtajñāḥ | yāsu devīṣv adhi deva āsīt kasmai devāya haviṣā vidhema ||6||

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

The waters in the beginning favored (av) the all, assuming an embryo, they the immortal, order-knowing ones, over whom, divine ones, the god was—to what god may we pay worship with oblation?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
