Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.54
इदं तद् युज उत्तरम् इन्द्रं शुम्भाम्य् अष्टये । अस्य क्षत्रं श्रियं महीं वृष्टिर् इव वर्धया तृणम् ॥१॥
idaṃ tad yuja uttaram indraṃ śumbhāmy aṣṭaye | asya kṣatraṃ śriyaṃ mahīṃ vṛṣṭir iva vardhayā tṛṇam ||1||
Now do I adorn this man as superior to his fellow, for attainment of Indra; do thou increase his authority, his great fortune, as the rain the grass.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अस्मै क्षत्रम् अग्नीषोमाव् अस्मै धारयतं रयिम् । इमं राष्ट्रस्याभीवर्गे कृणुतम् युज उत्तरम् ॥२॥
asmai kṣatram agnīṣomāv asmai dhārayataṃ rayim | imaṃ rāṣṭrasyābhīvarge kṛṇutam yuja uttaram ||2||
For him, O Agni-and-Soma, maintain ye dominion, for him wealth; in the sphere of royalty make ye him superior to his fellow.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
सबन्धुश् चासबन्धुश् च यो अस्मां अभिदासति । सर्वं तं रन्धयासि मे यजमानाय सुन्वते ॥३॥
sabandhuś cāsabandhuś ca yo asmāṃ abhidāsati | sarvaṃ taṃ randhayāsi me yajamānāya sunvate ||3||
Whoever, both related and unrelated, assails us—every such one mayest thou make subject to me, the sacrificer, the soma-presser.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
