Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.124

दिवो नु माम् बृहतो अन्तरिक्षाद् अपां स्तोको अभ्य् अपप्तद् रसेन । सम् इन्द्रियेन पयसाहम् अग्ने छन्दोभिर् यज्ञैः सुकृतां कृतेन ॥१॥

divo nu mām bṛhato antarikṣād apāṃ stoko abhy apaptad rasena | sam indriyena payasāham agne chandobhir yajñaiḥ sukṛtāṃ kṛtena ||1||

From the sky now, from the great atmosphere, a drop of water hath fallen upon me with essence (rása); with Indra's power, with milk, O Agni, [may] I [be joined], with the meters, with offerings, with the deed of the well-doing.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यदि वृक्षाद् अभ्यपप्तत् फलं तद् यद्य् अन्तरिक्षात् स उ वायुर् एव । यत्रास्पृक्षत् तन्वो यच् च वासस आपो नुदन्तु निरृतिं पराचैः ॥२॥

yadi vṛkṣād abhyapaptat phalaṃ tad yady antarikṣāt sa u vāyur eva | yatrāspṛkṣat tanvo yac ca vāsasa āpo nudantu nirṛtiṃ parācaiḥ ||2||

If from a tree it hath fallen upon [me], that is fruit; if from the atmosphere, that is merely Vāyu; on whatever part of my body, and what part of my garment, it hath touched, let the waters thrust perdition away.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अभ्यञ्जनं सुरभि सा समृद्धिर् हिरण्यं वर्चस् तद् उ पूत्रिमम् एव । सर्वा पवित्रा वितताध्य् अस्मत् तन् मा तारीन् निरृतिर् मो अरातिः ॥३॥

abhyañjanaṃ surabhi sā samṛddhir hiraṇyaṃ varcas tad u pūtrimam eva | sarvā pavitrā vitatādhy asmat tan mā tārīn nirṛtir mo arātiḥ ||3||

A fragrant ointment, a success is that; gold, splendor, just purifying is that. All purifiers [are] stretched out from us; let not perdition pass that, nor the niggard.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
