Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.8.1

AVŚ 6.8.1

यथा वृक्षं लिबुजा समन्तं परिषस्वजे । एवा परि ष्वजस्व मां यथा मां कामिन्य् असो यथा मन् नापगा असः ॥१॥

yathā vṛkṣaṃ libujā samantaṃ pariṣasvaje | evā pari ṣvajasva māṃ yathā māṃ kāminy aso yathā man nāpagā asaḥ ||1||

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

As the creeper (líbujā) has completely embraced the tree, so do thou embrace me—that thou mayest be one loving me, that thou mayest be one not going away from me.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
