Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.17.1

AVŚ 5.17.1

ते ऽवदन् प्रथमा ब्रह्मकिल्बिषे ऽकूपारः सलिलो मातरिश्वा । वीडुहरास् तप उग्रं मयोभूर् आपो देवीः प्रथमजा ऋतस्य ॥१॥

te 'vadan prathamā brahmakilbiṣe 'kūpāraḥ salilo mātariśvā | vīḍuharās tapa ugraṃ mayobhūr āpo devīḥ prathamajā ṛtasya ||1||

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

These spoke first at the offense against the Brahman (bráhman-): the boundless sea, Mātariçvan, he of stout rage (-háras), formidable fervor, the kindly one, the heavenly waters, first-born of right (ṛtá).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
