Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.112
मा ज्येष्ठं वधीद् अयम् अग्न एषाम् मूलबर्हणात् परि पाह्य् एनम् । स ग्राह्याः पाशान् वि चृत प्रजानन् तुभ्यं देवा अनु जानन्तु विश्वे ॥१॥
mā jyeṣṭhaṃ vadhīd ayam agna eṣām mūlabarhaṇāt pari pāhy enam | sa grāhyāḥ pāśān vi cṛta prajānan tubhyaṃ devā anu jānantu viśve ||1||
Let not this one, O Agni, slay the oldest of them; protect him from uprooting; do thou, foreknowing, unfasten the bonds of the seizure (grā́hi); let all the gods assent to thee.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
उन् मुञ्च पाशांस् त्वम् अग्न एषां त्रयस् त्रिभिर् उत्सिता येभिर् आसन् । स ग्राह्याः पाशान् वि चृत प्रजानन् पितापुत्रौ मातरं मुञ्च सर्वान् ॥२॥
un muñca pāśāṃs tvam agna eṣāṃ trayas tribhir utsitā yebhir āsan | sa grāhyāḥ pāśān vi cṛta prajānan pitāputrau mātaraṃ muñca sarvān ||2||
Do thou, O Agni, loosen up the bonds of them, the three with which they three were tied up; do thou, foreknowing, unfasten the bonds of the seizure; free all—father, son, mother.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
येभिः पाशैः परिवित्तो विबद्धो ऽङ्गेअङ्ग आर्पित उत्सितश् च । वि ते मुच्यन्तं विमुचो हि सन्ति भ्रूणघ्नि पूषन् दुरितानि मृक्ष्व ॥३॥
yebhiḥ pāśaiḥ parivitto vibaddho 'ṅgeaṅga ārpita utsitaś ca | vi te mucyantaṃ vimuco hi santi bhrūṇaghni pūṣan duritāni mṛkṣva ||3||
With what bonds the overslaughed one is bound apart, applied and tied up on each limb—let them be released, for they are releasers; wipe off difficulties, O Pūshan, on the embryo-slayer.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
