Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 19 — Chapter 68

AV 19 68.1

अव्यसश् च व्यचसश् च बिलं वि ष्यामि मायया । ताभ्याम् उद्धृत्य वेदम् अथ कर्माणि कृण्महे

avyasaś ca vyacasaś ca bilaṃ vi ṣyāmi māyayā | tābhyām uddhṛtya vedam atha karmāṇi kṛṇmahe

Of the unextended and of the extended I open the aperture by (my) magic art; having drawn up the Veda from those two, we then perform the rites.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Both of broad and narrow I with magic power unclose the mouth. With these when we have raised the bunch of grass we pay the holy rites.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
