Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 9.9.6

AVŚ 9.9.6

पाकः पृछामि मनसा ऽविजानन् देवानाम् एना निहिता पदानि । वत्से बष्कये ऽधि सप्त तन्तून् वि तत्निरे कवय ओतवा उ ॥६॥

pākaḥ pṛchāmi manasā 'vijānan devānām enā nihitā padāni | vatse baṣkaye 'dhi sapta tantūn vi tatnire kavaya otavā u ||6||

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

Simple, not discerning (vi-jñā) with the mind, I ask about the thus set-down tracks of the gods; over the yearling (? baṣkáya) calf have the poets stretched out seven lines (tántu) for weaving.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
