Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.2.8

AVŚ 5.2.8

इमा ब्रह्म बृहद्दिवः कृणवद् इन्द्राय शूषम् अग्रियः स्वर्षाः । महो गोत्रस्य क्षयति स्वराजा तुरश् चिद् विश्वम् अर्णवत् तपस्वान् ॥८॥

imā brahma bṛhaddivaḥ kṛṇavad indrāya śūṣam agriyaḥ svarṣāḥ | maho gotrasya kṣayati svarājā turaś cid viśvam arṇavat tapasvān ||8||

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

These incantations (bráhman) may Brihaddiva, foremost heaven-winner, make, a strain (çūṣá) for Indra; he rules, an autocrat, over the great stall (gotrá); may he, quick (? túra), rich in fervor, send (?) all.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
