Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.56.1

AVŚ 6.56.1

मा नो देवा अहिर् वधीत् सतोकान्त् सहपुरुषान् । सम्यतं न वि ष्परद् व्यात्तं न सं यमन् नमो देवजनेभ्यः ।

mā no devā ahir vadhīt satokānt sahapuruṣān | samyataṃ na vi ṣparad vyāttaṃ na saṃ yaman namo devajanebhyaḥ |

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Let not the snake, O gods, slay us with our offspring, with our men (púruṣa); what is shut together may it not unclose; what is open may it not shut together: homage to the god-people.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
