Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.141
वायुर् एनाः समाकरत् त्वष्टा पोषाय ध्रियताम् । इन्द्र आभ्यो अधि ब्रवद् रुद्रो भूम्ने चिकित्सतु ॥१॥
vāyur enāḥ samākarat tvaṣṭā poṣāya dhriyatām | indra ābhyo adhi bravad rudro bhūmne cikitsatu ||1||
May Vāyu collect them; let Tvashṭar stay fast in order to [their] prosperity; may Indra bless them; let Rudra take care for [their] numbers.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
लोहितेन स्वधितिना मिथुनं कर्णयोः कृधि । अकर्ताम् अश्विना लक्ष्म तद् अस्तु प्रजया बहु ॥२॥
lohitena svadhitinā mithunaṃ karṇayoḥ kṛdhi | akartām aśvinā lakṣma tad astu prajayā bahu ||2||
With the red knife (svádhiti), make thou a pair (mithuná) on [their] two ears; the Açvins have made the mark; be that numerous by progeny.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यथा चक्रुर् देवासुरा यथा मनुष्या उत । एवा सहस्रपोषाय कृणुतं लक्ष्माश्विना ॥३॥
yathā cakrur devāsurā yathā manuṣyā uta | evā sahasrapoṣāya kṛṇutaṃ lakṣmāśvinā ||3||
As the gods and Asuras made [it], as human beings also, so, O Açvins, make ye the mark, in order to thousand-fold prosperity.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
