Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.72.1

AVŚ 6.72.1

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||

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

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)
