Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.9.5

AVŚ 8.9.5

बृहती परि मात्राया मातुर् मात्राधि निर्मिता । माया ह जज्ञे मायाया मायाया मातली परि ॥५॥

bṛhatī pari mātrāyā mātur mātrādhi nirmitā | māyā ha jajñe māyāyā māyāyā mātalī pari ||5||

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

Bṛhatī́ the measure (mā́trā) was fashioned forth out of measure [as] a mother; illusion (māyā́) was born from illusion, Mātalī out of illusion.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
