Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.47

AVŚ 6.47.1

अग्निः प्रातःसवने पात्व् अस्मान् वैश्वानरो विश्वकृद् विश्वशंभूः । स नः पावको द्रविणे दधात्व् आयुष्मन्तः सहभक्षाः स्याम ॥१॥

agniḥ prātaḥsavane pātv asmān vaiśvānaro viśvakṛd viśvaśaṃbhūḥ | sa naḥ pāvako draviṇe dadhātv āyuṣmantaḥ sahabhakṣāḥ syāma ||1||

Let Agni at the morning libation (sávana) protect us, he that belongs to all men (vāiçvānará), all-maker, all-wealful; let him, the purifier, set us in property (dráviṇa); may we be long-lived, provided with draughts.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 6.47.2

विश्वे देवा मरुत इन्द्रो अस्मान् अस्मिन् द्वितीये सवने न जह्युः । आयुष्मन्तः प्रियम् एषां वदन्तो वयं देवानां सुमतौ स्याम ॥२॥

viśve devā maruta indro asmān asmin dvitīye savane na jahyuḥ | āyuṣmantaḥ priyam eṣāṃ vadanto vayaṃ devānāṃ sumatau syāma ||2||

May all the gods, the Maruts, Indra, not leave us at this second libation; long-lived, speaking what is dear to them, may we be in the favor of the gods.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

AVŚ 6.47.3

इदं तृतीयं सवनं कवीनाम् ऋतेन ये चमसम् ऐरयन्त । ते सौधन्वनाः स्वर् आनशानाः स्विष्टिं नो अभि वस्यो नयन्तु ॥३॥

idaṃ tṛtīyaṃ savanaṃ kavīnām ṛtena ye camasam airayanta | te saudhanvanāḥ svar ānaśānāḥ sviṣṭiṃ no abhi vasyo nayantu ||3||

This third libation [is] of the poets (kaví), who rightfully (ṛténa) sent out the bowl; let those Sāudhanvanas, who have attained heaven, conduct our happy-offering unto what is better.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
