Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 7.48

राकाम् अहं सुहवा सुष्टुती हुवे शृणोतु नः सुभगा बोधतु त्मना । सीव्यत्व् अपः सूच्याछिद्यमानया ददातु वीरं शतदायम् उक्थ्यम् ॥१॥

rākām ahaṃ suhavā suṣṭutī huve śṛṇotu naḥ subhagā bodhatu tmanā | sīvyatv apaḥ sūcyāchidyamānayā dadātu vīraṃ śatadāyam ukthyam ||1||

With eulogy I call on Raka swift to hear may she, auspicious, hear us, and herself observe. With never-breaking needle may she sew her work, and give a hero son most wealthy, meet for praise.

यास् ते राके सुमतयः सुपेशसो याभिर् ददासि दाशुषे वसूनि । ताभिर् नो अद्य सुमना उपागहि सहस्रापोषम् सुभगे रराणा ॥२॥

yās te rāke sumatayaḥ supeśaso yābhir dadāsi dāśuṣe vasūni | tābhir no adya sumanā upāgahi sahasrāpoṣam subhage rarāṇā ||2||

All thy kind thoughts, O Raka, lovely in their form, wherewith thou grantest wealth to him who offers gifts- With these come thou to us this day benevolent, O Blessed One, bestowing food of thousand sorts.
