Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.41

मनसे चेतसे धिय आकूतय उत चित्तये । मत्यै श्रुताय चक्षसे विधेम हविषा वयम् ॥१॥

manase cetase dhiya ākūtaya uta cittaye | matyai śrutāya cakṣase vidhema haviṣā vayam ||1||

To mind, to thought, to device (dhī́), to design, and to intention, to opinion (matí), to instruction (çrutá), to sight, would we pay worship with oblation.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अपानाय व्यानाय प्राणाय भूरिधायसे । सरस्वत्या उरुव्यचे विधेम हविषा वयम् ॥२॥

apānāya vyānāya prāṇāya bhūridhāyase | sarasvatyā uruvyace vidhema haviṣā vayam ||2||

To expiration, to perspiration (vyāná), to breath the much nourishing, to Sarasvatī the wide extending, would we pay worship with oblation.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

मा नो हासिषुर् ऋषयो दैव्या ये तनूपा ये नस् तन्वस् तनूजाः । अमर्त्या मर्त्यां अभि नः सचध्वम् आयुर् धत्त प्रतरं जीवसे नः ॥३॥

mā no hāsiṣur ṛṣayo daivyā ye tanūpā ye nas tanvas tanūjāḥ | amartyā martyāṃ abhi naḥ sacadhvam āyur dhatta prataraṃ jīvase naḥ ||3||

Let not the seers who are of the gods leave us, who are self (tanū́) protecting, self-born of our self; O immortal ones, attach yourselves to us mortals; grant life-time (ā́yus) in order to our further living.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
