Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 2 — Chapter 1

AV 2 1.1

वेनस् तत् पश्यत् परमं गुहा यद् यत्र विश्वं भवत्य् एकरूपम् । इदं पृश्निर् अदुहज् जायमानाः स्वर्विदो अभ्य् अनूषत व्राः

venas tat paśyat paramaṃ guhā yad yatra viśvaṃ bhavaty ekarūpam | idaṃ pṛśnir aduhaj jāyamānāḥ svarvido abhy anūṣata vrāḥ

Vena saw that highest (thing) which is in the hiding-place, where the whole becomes of one form. This Pṛśni yielded as milk; the troops (of singers), knowing the light of heaven, being born, shouted (their) approval.

Let him proclaim that—the Gandharva, knowing of the immortal—the highest abode, which is in the hiding-place. Three of his steps are set down in secret; whoever knows those, he shall be the father's father.

AV 2 1.3

स नः पिता जनिता स उत बन्धुर् धामानि वेद भुवनानि विश्वा । यो देवानां नामध एक एव तं संप्रश्नं भुवना यन्ति सर्वा

sa naḥ pitā janitā sa uta bandhur dhāmāni veda bhuvanāni viśvā | yo devānāṃ nāmadha eka eva taṃ saṃpraśnaṃ bhuvanā yanti sarvā

He is our father, our begetter, and he the kinsman; he knows the abodes, all the worlds. He who alone is the name-giver of the gods—to him, for questioning, all the worlds go.

AV 2 1.4

परि द्यावापृथिवी सद्य आयम् उपातिष्ठे प्रथमजाम् ऋतस्य । वाचम् इव वक्तरि भुवनेष्ठा धास्युर् एष नन्व् एषो अग्निः

pari dyāvāpṛthivī sadya āyam upātiṣṭhe prathamajām ṛtasya | vācam iva vaktari bhuvaneṣṭhā dhāsyur eṣa nanv eṣo agniḥ

Around heaven and earth I went at once; I approached the firstborn of ṛta. As speech (abides) in the speaker, so he abides in the worlds: he will be the nourisher—surely this one is Agni.

Around all the worlds I went, to behold the stretched-out thread of ṛta, where the gods, having attained immortality, moved upward in the common womb.
