Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.71

यद् अन्नम् अद्मि बहुधा विरूपं हिरण्यम् अश्वम् उत गाम् अजाम् अविम् । यद् एव किं च प्रतिजग्रहाहम् अग्निष् टद् धोता सुहुतं कृनोतु ॥१॥

yad annam admi bahudhā virūpaṃ hiraṇyam aśvam uta gām ajām avim | yad eva kiṃ ca pratijagrahāham agniṣ ṭad dhotā suhutaṃ kṛnotu ||1||

What food of various form I eat oftentimes (bahudhā́)—gold, horse, also cow, she-goat, sheep, just whatsoever I have accepted—let Agni the offerer (hótar) make that well-offered.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यन् मा हुतम् अहुतम् आजगाम दत्तं पितृभिर् अनुमतं मनुष्यैः । यस्मान् मे मन उद् इव रारजीत्य् अग्निष् टद् धोता सुहुतं कृणोतु ॥२॥

yan mā hutam ahutam ājagāma dattaṃ pitṛbhir anumataṃ manuṣyaiḥ | yasmān me mana ud iva rārajīty agniṣ ṭad dhotā suhutaṃ kṛṇotu ||2||

Whatever, offered [or] unoffered, hath come to me, given by the Fathers, assented to by human beings (manuṣyà), what my mind is as it were excited at—let Agni the offerer make that well-offered.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यद् अन्नम् अद्म्य् अनृतेन देवा दास्यन्न् अदास्यन्न् उत संगृणामि । वैश्वानरस्य महतो महिम्ना शिवं मह्यं मधुमद् अस्त्व् अन्नम् ॥३॥

yad annam admy anṛtena devā dāsyann adāsyann uta saṃgṛṇāmi | vaiśvānarasya mahato mahimnā śivaṃ mahyaṃ madhumad astv annam ||3||

What food I eat unrighteously, O gods, and promise, intending to give [or] not intending to give—by the greatness of the great Vāiçvānara let [it] be propitious honeyed food for me.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
