Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.24.6

AVŚ 4.24.6

यः प्रथमः कर्मकृत्याय जज्ञे यस्य वीर्यम् प्रथमस्यानुबुद्धम् । येनोद्यतो वज्रो ऽभ्यायताहिं स नो मुञ्चत्व् अंहसः ॥६॥

yaḥ prathamaḥ karmakṛtyāya jajñe yasya vīryam prathamasyānubuddham | yenodyato vajro 'bhyāyatāhiṃ sa no muñcatv aṃhasaḥ ||6||

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

He who was born first for the doing of deeds; of whom first the heroism was noted; by whom brandished (ud-yam) the thunderbolt went at (abhi-i) the dragon—let him free us from distress.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
