Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 9.10.23

AVŚ 9.10.23

अपाद् एति प्रथमा पद्वतीनां कस् तद् वां मित्रावरुणा चिकेत । गर्भो भारं भरत्य् आ चिद् अस्या ऋतं पिपर्ति अनृतं नि पाति ॥२३॥

apād eti prathamā padvatīnāṃ kas tad vāṃ mitrāvaruṇā ciketa | garbho bhāraṃ bharaty ā cid asyā ṛtaṃ piparti anṛtaṃ ni pāti ||23||

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

She that is footless goes first of them (fem.) that have feet: who understood (ā-cit) that of you, O Mitra and Varuṇa? the embryo brings (ā-bhṛ) the burden of her; she (?) fills (? pṛ) truth, protects (ni-pā) untruth.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
