Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.79

अयं नो नभसस् पतिः संस्फानो अभि रक्षतु । असमातिम् गृहेषु नः ॥१॥

ayaṃ no nabhasas patiḥ saṃsphāno abhi rakṣatu | asamātim gṛheṣu naḥ ||1||

Let the lord of the cloud (nábhas) here, the fattener, protect us, [grant] unequalledness (?) in our houses.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

त्वं नो नभसस् पते ऊर्जं गृहेसु धारय । आ पुष्टम् एत्व् आ वसु ॥२॥

tvaṃ no nabhasas pate ūrjaṃ gṛhesu dhāraya | ā puṣṭam etv ā vasu ||2||

Do thou, O lord of the cloud, maintain for us sustenance (ū́rj) in our houses; let prosperity, let good (vásu) come.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

देव संस्फान सहस्रापोषस्येशिषे । तस्य नो रास्व तस्य नो धेहि तस्य ते भक्तिवाम्सः स्याम ॥३॥

deva saṃsphāna sahasrāpoṣasyeśiṣe | tasya no rāsva tasya no dhehi tasya te bhaktivāmsaḥ syāma ||3||

O divine fattener, thou art master of thousand-fold prosperity; bestow upon us of that; assign to us of that; of that from thee may we be sharers.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
