Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.2.7

AVŚ 4.2.7

हिरण्यगर्भः सम् अवर्तताग्रे भूतस्य जातः पतिर् एक आसीत् । स दाधार पृथिवीम् उत द्यां कस्मै देवाय हविषा विधेम ॥७॥

hiraṇyagarbhaḥ sam avartatāgre bhūtasya jātaḥ patir eka āsīt | sa dādhāra pṛthivīm uta dyāṃ kasmai devāya haviṣā vidhema ||7||

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

The golden embryo was evolved (sam-vṛt) in the beginning; it was, when born, the sole lord of existence (bhūtá); it maintained earth and heaven—to what god may we pay worship with oblation?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
