Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.108
त्वं नो मेधे प्रथमा गोभिर् अश्वेभिर् आ गहि । त्वं सूर्यस्य रश्मिभिस् त्वम् नो असि यज्ञिया ॥१॥
tvaṃ no medhe prathamā gobhir aśvebhir ā gahi | tvaṃ sūryasya raśmibhis tvam no asi yajñiyā ||1||
Do thou, O wisdom (medhā́), come first to us, with kine, with horses, thou with the sun's rays; thou art worshipful to us.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
मेधाम् अहं प्रथमां ब्रह्मण्वतीं ब्रह्मजूताम् ऋषिष्टुताम् । प्रपीतां ब्रह्मचारिभिर् देवानाम् अवसे हुवे ॥२॥
medhām ahaṃ prathamāṃ brahmaṇvatīṃ brahmajūtām ṛṣiṣṭutām | prapītāṃ brahmacāribhir devānām avase huve ||2||
I call first, unto the aid of the gods, wisdom filled with bráhman, quickened by bráhman, praised by seers, drunk of (?) by Vedic students.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यां मेधाम् ऋभवो विदुर् यां मेधाम् असुरा विदुः । ऋषयो भद्रां मेधां यां विदुस् तां मय्य् आ वेशयामसि ॥३॥
yāṃ medhām ṛbhavo vidur yāṃ medhām asurā viduḥ | ṛṣayo bhadrāṃ medhāṃ yāṃ vidus tāṃ mayy ā veśayāmasi ||3||
The wisdom that the Ribhus know, the wisdom that the Asuras know, the excellent wisdom that the seers know—that do we cause to enter into me.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
याम् ऋषयो भूतकृतो मेधां मेधाविनो विदुः । तया माम् अद्य मेधयाग्ने मेधाविनं कृणु ॥४॥
yām ṛṣayo bhūtakṛto medhāṃ medhāvino viduḥ | tayā mām adya medhayāgne medhāvinaṃ kṛṇu ||4||
The wisdom that the being-making seers, possessed of wisdom, know—with that wisdom do thou make me today, O Agni, possessed of wisdom.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
मेधां सायं मेधां प्रातर् मेधां मध्यन्दिनं परि । मेधां सूर्यस्य रश्मिभिर् वचसा वेशयामहे ॥५॥
medhāṃ sāyaṃ medhāṃ prātar medhāṃ madhyandinaṃ pari | medhāṃ sūryasya raśmibhir vacasā veśayāmahe ||5||
Wisdom at evening, wisdom in the morning, wisdom about noon, wisdom by the sun's rays, by the spell (vácas), do we make enter into us.
