Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.68
आयम् अगन्त् सविता क्षुरेणोष्णेन वाय उदकेनेहि । आदित्या रुद्रा वसव उन्दन्तु सचेतसः सोमस्य राज्ञो वपत प्रचेतसः ॥१॥
āyam agant savitā kṣureṇoṣṇena vāya udakenehi | ādityā rudrā vasava undantu sacetasaḥ somasya rājño vapata pracetasaḥ ||1||
Savitar here hath come with razor; come, O Vāyu, with hot water; let the Ādityas, the Rudras, the Vasus, wet [him] in accordance; do ye, forethoughtful, shave [the head] of king Soma.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अदितिः श्मश्रु वपत्व् आप उन्दन्तु वर्चसा । चिकित्सतु प्रजापतिर् दीर्घायुत्वाय चक्षसे ॥२॥
aditiḥ śmaśru vapatv āpa undantu varcasā | cikitsatu prajāpatir dīrghāyutvāya cakṣase ||2||
Let Aditi shave the beard; let the waters wet [it] with splendor; let Prajāpati nurse (cikits) [it], in order to length of life, to sight.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
येनावपत् सविता क्षुरेण सोमस्य राज्ञो वरुणस्य विद्वान् । तेन ब्रह्माणो वपतेदम् अस्य गोमान् अश्ववान् अयम् अस्तु प्रजावान् ॥३॥
yenāvapat savitā kṣureṇa somasya rājño varuṇasya vidvān | tena brahmāṇo vapatedam asya gomān aśvavān ayam astu prajāvān ||3||
With what razor the knowing Savitar shaved [the head] of king Soma, of Varuṇa, therewith, ye priests (brahmán), shave [it] now of this man; be he rich in kine, in horses, in progeny.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
