Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.123

एतं सधस्थाः परि वो ददामि यं शेवधिम् आवहाज् जातवेदः । अन्वागन्ता यजमानः स्वस्ति तं स्म जानीत परमे व्योमन् ॥१॥

etaṃ sadhasthāḥ pari vo dadāmi yaṃ śevadhim āvahāj jātavedaḥ | anvāgantā yajamānaḥ svasti taṃ sma jānīta parame vyoman ||1||

This one, O ye associates (? sadhástha), I deliver to you, whom Jātavedas shall carry [as] a treasure; the sacrificer follows after well-being; him do ye recognize in the highest firmament.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

जानीत स्मैनं परमे व्योमन् देवाः सधस्था विद लोकम् अत्र । अन्वागन्ता यजमानः स्वस्तीष्टापूर्तं स्म कृणुताविर् अस्मै ॥२॥

jānīta smainaṃ parame vyoman devāḥ sadhasthā vida lokam atra | anvāgantā yajamānaḥ svastīṣṭāpūrtaṃ sma kṛṇutāvir asmai ||2||

Recognize ye him in the highest firmament; ye divine associates, ye know [his] world there; the sacrificer follows after well-being; make ye what he has offered and bestowed plain for him.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

देवाः पितरः पितरो देवाः । यो अस्मि सो अस्मि ॥३॥

devāḥ pitaraḥ pitaro devāḥ | yo asmi so asmi ||3||

O gods! O Fathers! O Fathers! O gods! who I am, he am I.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

स पचामि स ददामि । स यजे स दत्तान् मा यूषम् ॥४॥

sa pacāmi sa dadāmi | sa yaje sa dattān mā yūṣam ||4||

He do I cook, he do I give, he do I offer; [as] he, let me not be parted from what is given.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

नाके राजन् प्रति तिष्ठ तत्रैतत् प्रति तिष्ठतु । विद्धि पूर्तस्य नो राजन्त् स देव सुमना भव ॥५॥

nāke rājan prati tiṣṭha tatraitat prati tiṣṭhatu | viddhi pūrtasya no rājant sa deva sumanā bhava ||5||

In the firmament, O king, stand firm; there let this stand firm; know of what we have bestowed, O king; do thou, O god, be well-willing.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
