Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.23.1

AVŚ 4.23.1

अग्नेर् मन्वे प्रथमस्य प्रचेतसः पाञ्चजन्यस्य बहुधा यम् इन्धते । विशोविशः प्रविशिवांसम् ईमहे स नो मुञ्चत्व् अंहसः ॥१॥

agner manve prathamasya pracetasaḥ pāñcajanyasya bahudhā yam indhate | viśoviśaḥ praviśivāṃsam īmahe sa no muñcatv aṃhasaḥ ||1||

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

I reverence (man-u) first the forethoughtful (prácetas) Agni, him of the five peoples, whom men kindle in many places; we pray to him who hath entered (pra-viç) into clans after clans (víç): let him free us from distress.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
