Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.46
यो न जीवो ऽसि न मृतो देवानाम् अमृतगर्भो ऽसि स्वप्न । वरुणानी ते माता यमः पिताररुर् नामासि ॥१॥
yo na jīvo 'si na mṛto devānām amṛtagarbho 'si svapna | varuṇānī te mātā yamaḥ pitārarur nāmāsi ||1||
Thou who art not alive, not dead, immortal-embryo of the gods art thou, O sleep; Varuṇāni is thy mother, Yama thy father; Araru by name art thou.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
विद्म ते स्वप्न जनित्रं देवजामीनां पुत्रो ऽसि यमस्य करणः । अन्तको ऽसि मृत्युर् असि तं त्वा स्वप्न तथा सं विद्म स नः स्वप्न दुष्वप्न्यात् पाहि ॥२॥
vidma te svapna janitraṃ devajāmīnāṃ putro 'si yamasya karaṇaḥ | antako 'si mṛtyur asi taṃ tvā svapna tathā saṃ vidma sa naḥ svapna duṣvapnyāt pāhi ||2||
We know thy place of birth (janítra), O sleep; thou art son of the gods' sisters (-jāmí), agent of Yama; end-maker art thou; death art thou; so, O sleep, do we comprehend thee here; do thou, O sleep, protect us from evil-dreaming.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यथा कलां यथा शफं यथर्णं संनयन्ति । एवा दुष्वप्न्यं सर्वं द्विषते सं नयामसि ॥३॥
yathā kalāṃ yathā śaphaṃ yatharṇaṃ saṃnayanti | evā duṣvapnyaṃ sarvaṃ dviṣate saṃ nayāmasi ||3||
As a sixteenth, as an eighth, as a [whole] debt they bring together, so do we bring together all evil-dreaming for him who hates us.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
