Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.72

यथासितः प्रथयते वशाम् अनु वपूंषि कृण्वन्न् असुरस्य मायया । एवा ते शेपः सहसायम् अर्को ऽङ्गेनाङ्गं संसमकं कृणोतु ॥१॥

yathāsitaḥ prathayate vaśām anu vapūṃṣi kṛṇvann asurasya māyayā | evā te śepaḥ sahasāyam arko 'ṅgenāṅgaṃ saṃsamakaṃ kṛṇotu ||1||

As the black snake spreads himself at pleasure, making wondrous forms (vápus), by the Asura's magic (māyá), so let this arid suddenly make thy member altogether correspondent (? sáṁsamaka), limb with limb.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यथा पसस् तायादरं वातेन स्थूलभं कृतम् । यावत् परस्वतः पसस् तावत् ते वर्धतां पसः ॥२॥

yathā pasas tāyādaraṃ vātena sthūlabhaṃ kṛtam | yāvat parasvataḥ pasas tāvat te vardhatāṃ pasaḥ ||2||

As the member of the tayādara is made big by the wind—as great as is the member of the párasvant, so great let thy member grow.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यावदङ्गीनं पारस्वतं हास्तिनं गार्दभम् च यत् । यावद् अश्वस्य वाजिनस् तावत् ते वर्धतां पसः ॥३॥

yāvadaṅgīnaṃ pārasvataṃ hāstinaṃ gārdabham ca yat | yāvad aśvasya vājinas tāvat te vardhatāṃ pasaḥ ||3||

As much of a limb as is that of the párasvant, that of the elephant, and that of the ass—as great as of the vigorous (vājín) horse, so great let thy member grow.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
