Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 5.6.1

AVŚ 5.6.1

ब्रह्म जज्ञानं प्रथमं पुरस्ताद् वि सीमतः सुरुचो वेन आवः । स बुध्न्या उपमा अस्य विष्ठाः सतश् च योनिम् असतश् च वि वः ॥१॥

brahma jajñānaṃ prathamaṃ purastād vi sīmataḥ suruco vena āvaḥ | sa budhnyā upamā asya viṣṭhāḥ sataś ca yonim asataś ca vi vaḥ ||1||

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

The bráhman that was first born of old, Vena hath unclosed from the well-shining edge; he unclosed the fundamental nearest positions of it, the womb of the existent and of the non-existent.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
