Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.10.8

AVŚ 5.10.8

बृहता मन उप ह्वये मातरिश्वना प्राणापानौ । सूर्याच् चक्षुर् अन्तरिक्षाच् छ्रोत्रं पृथिव्याः शरीरम् । सरस्वत्या वाचम् उप ह्वयामहे मनोयुजा ॥८॥

bṛhatā mana upa hvaye mātariśvanā prāṇāpānau | sūryāc cakṣur antarikṣāc chrotraṃ pṛthivyāḥ śarīram | sarasvatyā vācam upa hvayāmahe manoyujā ||8||

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

By the great one (bṛhát) I call unto mind; by Mātariçvan, unto breath and expiration; from the sun [I call] sight, from the atmosphere hearing, from the earth body; by Sarasvatī, mind-yoked, we call unto speech.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
