Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.55
ये पन्थानो बहवो देवयाना अन्तरा द्यावापृथिवी संचरन्ति । तेषाम् अज्यानिं यतमो वहाति तस्मै मा देवाः परि दत्तेह सर्वे ॥१॥
ye panthāno bahavo devayānā antarā dyāvāpṛthivī saṃcaranti | teṣām ajyāniṃ yatamo vahāti tasmai mā devāḥ pari datteha sarve ||1||
The many paths, traveled by the gods, that go between heaven-and-earth—whichever of them shall carry [one] to unscathedness, to that one, O gods, do ye all here give me over.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
ग्रीष्मो हेमन्तः शिशिरो वसन्तः शरद् वर्षाः स्विते नो दधात । आ नो गोषु भजता प्रजायां निवात इद् वः शरणे स्याम ॥२॥
grīṣmo hemantaḥ śiśiro vasantaḥ śarad varṣāḥ svite no dadhāta | ā no goṣu bhajatā prajāyāṃ nivāta id vaḥ śaraṇe syāma ||2||
Hot season, winter, cool season, spring, autumn, rains—do ye set us in welfare (svitá); portion ye us in kine, in progeny; may we verily be in your windless shelter.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इदावत्सराय परिवत्सराय संवत्सराय कृणुता बृहन् नमः । तेषां वयं सुमतौ यज्ञियानाम् अपि भद्रे सौ मनसे स्याम ॥३॥
idāvatsarāya parivatsarāya saṃvatsarāya kṛṇutā bṛhan namaḥ | teṣāṃ vayaṃ sumatau yajñiyānām api bhadre sau manase syāma ||3||
Unto the idā -year, the pari -year, the sam -year, pay ye great homage; may we be in the favor of these worshipful ones, likewise in their auspicious well-willing.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
