Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.77
अस्थाद् द्यौर् अस्थात् पृथिव्य् अस्थाद् विश्वम् इदं जगत् । आस्थाने पर्वता अस्थु स्थाम्न्य् अश्वां अतिष्ठिपम् ॥१॥
asthād dyaur asthāt pṛthivy asthād viśvam idaṃ jagat | āsthāne parvatā asthu sthāmny aśvāṃ atiṣṭhipam ||1||
The heaven hath stood; the earth hath stood; all this living world hath stood; on their base (āsthána) the mountains have stood; I have made the horses stand in their station.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
य उदानत् परायणं य उदानण् न्यायनम् । आवर्तनम् निवर्तनं यो गोपा अपि तं हुवे ॥२॥
ya udānat parāyaṇaṃ ya udānaṇ nyāyanam | āvartanam nivartanaṃ yo gopā api taṃ huve ||2||
He who hath attained the going away, he who hath attained the coming in, the turning hither, the turning in—he who is herdsman, on him I call.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
जातवेदो नि वर्तय शतं ते सन्त्व् आवृतः । सहस्रं त उपावृतस् ताभिर् नः पुनर् आ कृधि ॥३॥
jātavedo ni vartaya śataṃ te santv āvṛtaḥ | sahasraṃ ta upāvṛtas tābhir naḥ punar ā kṛdhi ||3||
O Jātavedas, cause to turn in; be thy turners hither a hundred, thy turners this way a thousand; with them get for us again.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
