Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.3
पातं न इन्द्रापूषणादितिः पान्तु मरुतः । अपां नपात् सिन्धवः सप्त पातन पातु नो विष्णुर् उत द्यौः ॥१॥
pātaṃ na indrāpūṣaṇāditiḥ pāntu marutaḥ | apāṃ napāt sindhavaḥ sapta pātana pātu no viṣṇur uta dyauḥ ||1||
Protect us, O Indra-and-Pūshan; let Aditi, let the Maruts protect; O child of the waters, ye seven rivers, protect; let Vishṇu protect us, also the heaven.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
पातां नो द्यावापृथिवी अभिष्टये पातु ग्रावा पातु सोमो नो अंहसः । पातु नो देवी सुभगा सरस्वती पात्व् अग्निः शिवा ये अस्य पायवः ॥२॥
pātāṃ no dyāvāpṛthivī abhiṣṭaye pātu grāvā pātu somo no aṃhasaḥ | pātu no devī subhagā sarasvatī pātv agniḥ śivā ye asya pāyavaḥ ||2||
Let heaven-and-earth protect us in order to assistance (abhíṣṭi); let the pressing-stone protect, let Soma protect us from distress; let the fortunate goddess Sarasvatī protect us; let Agni protect us—the propitious protections that are his.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
पाताम् नो देवाश्विना शुभस् पती उषासानक्तोत न उरुष्यताम् । अपां नपाद् अभिह्रुती गयस्य चिद् देव त्वष्टर् वर्धय सर्वतातये ॥३॥
pātām no devāśvinā śubhas patī uṣāsānaktota na uruṣyatām | apāṃ napād abhihrutī gayasya cid deva tvaṣṭar vardhaya sarvatātaye ||3||
Let the divine Açvins, lords of beauty, protect us; let dawn-and-night also make broad for us; O child of the waters, in case of any detriment to [our] household; O divine Tvashṭar, increase [us] in order to our completeness.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
