Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.28.8

AVŚ 5.28.8

त्रयः सुपर्णास् त्रिवृता यद् आयन्न् एकाक्षरम् अभिसंभूय शक्राः । प्रत्य् औहन् मृत्युम् अमृतेन साकम् अन्तर्दधाना दुरितानि विश्वा ॥८॥

trayaḥ suparṇās trivṛtā yad āyann ekākṣaram abhisaṃbhūya śakrāḥ | praty auhan mṛtyum amṛtena sākam antardadhānā duritāni viśvā ||8||

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

When the three eagles (suparṇá) went with the triple one, becoming, mighty ones (çakrá), a single syllable, they bore back death along with (sākám) the immortal, warding off (antar-dhā) all difficulties.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
