Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.82

आगछत आगतस्य नाम गृह्णाम्य् आयतः । इन्द्रस्य वृत्रघ्नो वन्वे वासवस्य शतक्रतोः ॥१॥

āgachata āgatasya nāma gṛhṇāmy āyataḥ | indrasya vṛtraghno vanve vāsavasya śatakratoḥ ||1||

I take the name of the arriving, the arrived, the coming one; Indra the Vritra-slayer I win (van), him of the Vasus, of a hundred-fold power.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

येन सूर्यां सावित्रीम् अश्विनोहतुः पथा । तेन माम् अब्रवीद् भगो जयाम् आ वहताद् इति ॥२॥

yena sūryāṃ sāvitrīm aśvinohatuḥ pathā | tena mām abravīd bhago jayām ā vahatād iti ||2||

By what road the Açvins carried Sūryā, daughter of Savitar, by that, Bhaga said to me, do thou bring a wife.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यस् ते ऽङ्कुशो वसुदानो बृहन्न् इन्द्र हिरण्ययः । तेना जनियते जायां मह्यं धेहि शचीपते ॥३॥

yas te 'ṅkuśo vasudāno bṛhann indra hiraṇyayaḥ | tenā janiyate jāyāṃ mahyaṃ dhehi śacīpate ||3||

The good-giving, great, golden hook that is thine, O Indra—with that, O lord of might (çácī-), assign thou a wife to me who seek a wife.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
