Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.122
एतं भागं परि ददामि विद्वान् विश्वकर्मन् प्रथमजा ऋतस्य । अस्माभिर् दत्तं जरसः परस्ताद् अछिन्नं तन्तुम् अनु सं तरेम ॥१॥
etaṃ bhāgaṃ pari dadāmi vidvān viśvakarman prathamajā ṛtasya | asmābhir dattaṃ jarasaḥ parastād achinnaṃ tantum anu saṃ tarema ||1||
This portion I, knowing, make over [to thee], O Viçvakarman, first-born of right; by us [is it] given, beyond old age; along an unbroken line may we pass (tṛ) together.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
ततं तन्तुम् अन्व् एके तरन्ति येषां दत्तं पित्र्यम् आयनेन । अबन्ध्व् एके ददतः प्रयछन्तो दातुं चेच् छिक्षान्त् स स्वर्ग एव ॥२॥
tataṃ tantum anv eke taranti yeṣāṃ dattaṃ pitryam āyanena | abandhv eke dadataḥ prayachanto dātuṃ cec chikṣānt sa svarga eva ||2||
Some pass along the extended line, of whom what is the Fathers' [was] given in course (? ā́yanena); some, without relatives, giving, bestowing—if they be able to give, that is very heaven.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अन्वारभेथाम् अनुसंरभेथाम् एतं लोकं श्रद्दधानाः सचन्ते । यद् वां पक्वं परिविष्टम् अग्नौ तस्य गुप्तये दम्पती सं श्रयेथाम् ॥३॥
anvārabhethām anusaṃrabhethām etaṃ lokaṃ śraddadhānāḥ sacante | yad vāṃ pakvaṃ pariviṣṭam agnau tasya guptaye dampatī saṃ śrayethām ||3||
Take ye (both) hold after, take hold together after; to this world they that have faith attach themselves (sac); what cooked [offering] of yours is served up in the fire, combine ye, O husband and wife, in order to the guarding of it.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यज्ञम् यन्तं मनसा बृहन्तम् अन्वारोहामि तपसा सयोनिः । उपहूता अग्ने जरसः परस्तात् तृतीये नाके सधमादं मदेम ॥४॥
yajñam yantaṃ manasā bṛhantam anvārohāmi tapasā sayoniḥ | upahūtā agne jarasaḥ parastāt tṛtīye nāke sadhamādaṃ madema ||4||
The great sacrifice, as it goes, with mind, I ascend after, with fervor (? tápas), of like origin; being called upon, O Agni, may we, beyond old age, revel in joint reveling in the third firmament.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
शुद्धाः पूता योषितो यज्ञिया इमा ब्रह्मणां हस्तेषु प्रपृथक् सादयामि । यत्काम इदं अभिषिञ्चामि वो ऽहं इन्द्रो मरुत्वान्त् स ददातु तन् मे ॥५॥
śuddhāḥ pūtā yoṣito yajñiyā imā brahmaṇāṃ hasteṣu prapṛthak sādayāmi | yatkāma idaṃ abhiṣiñcāmi vo 'haṃ indro marutvānt sa dadātu tan me ||5||
These cleansed, purified, worshipful maidens I seat in separate succession in the hands of the priests (brahmán); with what desire I now pour you on, let Indra here with the Maruts grant me that.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
