Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.106
आयने ते परायने दूर्वा रोहन्तु पुष्पिणीः । उत्सो वा तत्र जायताम् ह्रदो वा पुण्डरीकवान् ॥१॥
āyane te parāyane dūrvā rohantu puṣpiṇīḥ | utso vā tatra jāyatām hrado vā puṇḍarīkavān ||1||
In thy course hither, [thy] course away, let the flowery dū́rvā grow; either let a fountain spring up there, or a pond rich in lotuses.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अपाम् इदं न्ययनं समुद्रस्य निवेशनम् । मध्ये ह्रदस्य नो गृहाः पराचीना मुखा कृधि ॥२॥
apām idaṃ nyayanaṃ samudrasya niveśanam | madhye hradasya no gṛhāḥ parācīnā mukhā kṛdhi ||2||
This is the down-course of the waters, the abode (nivéçana) of the ocean; in the midst of a pool are our houses: turn thy faces away.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
हिमस्य त्वा जरायुणा शाले परि व्ययामसि । शीतह्रदा हि नो भुवो ऽग्निष् कृणोतु भेषजम् ॥३॥
himasya tvā jarāyuṇā śāle pari vyayāmasi | śītahradā hi no bhuvo 'gniṣ kṛṇotu bheṣajam ||3||
With a fetal envelop of snow, O house, do we envelop thee; for mayest thou be for us having a cool pond; let Agni make a remedy.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
