Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.20

अग्नेर् इवास्य दहत एति शुष्मिण उतेव मत्तो विलपन्न् अपायति । अन्यम् अस्मद् इछतु कं चिद् अव्रतस् तपुर्वधाय नमो अस्तु तक्मने ॥१॥

agner ivāsya dahata eti śuṣmiṇa uteva matto vilapann apāyati | anyam asmad ichatu kaṃ cid avratas tapurvadhāya namo astu takmane ||1||

Of him as of burning fire goeth the vehemence (?); likewise, as it were, shall he crying out go away from me; some other one than us let the ill-behaved one seek; homage be to the heat-weaponed fever.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 6.20.2

नमो रुद्राय नमो अस्तु तक्मने नमो राज्ञे वरुणाय त्विषीमते । नमो दिवे नमः पृथिव्यै नम ओषधीभ्यः ॥२॥

namo rudrāya namo astu takmane namo rājñe varuṇāya tviṣīmate | namo dive namaḥ pṛthivyai nama oṣadhībhyaḥ ||2||

Homage to Rudra, homage be to the fever, homage to king Varuṇa, the brilliant (tvíṣīmant), homage to the sky, homage to the earth, homage to the herbs.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 6.20.3

अयं यो अभिशोचयिष्णुर् विश्वा रूपाणि हरिता कृणोषि । तस्मै ते ऽरुणाय बभ्रवे नमः कृणोमि वन्याय तक्मने ॥३॥

ayaṃ yo abhiśocayiṣṇur viśvā rūpāṇi haritā kṛṇoṣi | tasmai te 'ruṇāya babhrave namaḥ kṛṇomi vanyāya takmane ||3||

Thou here who, scorching greatly, dost make all forms yellow—to thee here, the ruddy, the brown, the woody takmán, do I pay homage.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
