Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 2 — Chapter 35
AV 2 35.1
ये भक्षयन्तो न वसून्य् आनृधुर् यान् अग्नयो अन्वतप्यन्त धिष्ण्याः । या तेषाम् अवया दुरिष्टिः स्विष्टिं नस् तां कृणवद् विश्वकर्मा
ye bhakṣayanto na vasūny ānṛdhur yān agnayo anvatapyanta dhiṣṇyāḥ | yā teṣām avayā duriṣṭiḥ sviṣṭiṃ nas tāṃ kṛṇavad viśvakarmā
Those who, while eating, did not prosper the goods, at whom the Dhiṣṇya fires burned in resentment — whatever ill-offering of theirs is to be expiated, may Viśvakarman make that a good offering for us.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
We who enjoying it have grown no richer, for whom the sacred altar-fires have sorrowed, We who compounded with deficient worship,—may Visvakarman make our service prosper.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
AV 2 35.2
यज्ञपतिम् ऋषयः एनसाहुर् निर्भक्तं प्रजा अनुतप्यमानम् । मथव्यान्त् स्तोकान् अप यान् रराध सं नष् टेभिः सृजतु विश्वकर्मा
yajñapatim ṛṣayaḥ enasāhur nirbhaktaṃ prajā anutapyamānam | mathavyānt stokān apa yān rarādha saṃ naṣ ṭebhiḥ sṛjatu viśvakarmā
The ṛṣis have declared the lord of the sacrifice (to be) with guilt, excluded, his offspring suffering — the drops to be churned which he withheld: with these may Viśvakarman unite us.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Rishis have called the sacrifice's patron amerced through sin, sorrowing for his offspring. Those drops of meath whereof the missed enjoyment,—may Visvakarman with those drops unite us.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
AV 2 35.3
अदान्यान्त् सोमपान् मन्यमानो यज्ञस्य विद्वान्त् समये न धीरः । यद् एनश् चकृवान् बद्ध एष तं विश्वकर्मन् प्र मुञ्चा स्वस्तये
adānyānt somapān manyamāno yajñasya vidvānt samaye na dhīraḥ | yad enaś cakṛvān baddha eṣa taṃ viśvakarman pra muñcā svastaye
Thinking the soma-drinkers ungenerous, knowing the sacrifice (yet) not steady at the crucial moment — whatever guilt he has committed, bound (by it) he is here: release him, O Viśvakarman, for well-being.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Regarding niggard churls as Soma-drinkers, skilful in sacrifice, weak at the meeting, Whatever sin the captive hath committed, do thou for weal release him, Visvakarman!
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
AV 2 35.4
घोरा ऋषयो नमो अस्त्व् एभ्यश् चक्षुर् यद् एषां मनसश् च सत्यम् । बृहस्पतये महिष द्युमन्न् नमो विश्वकर्मन् नमस् ते पाह्य् अस्मान्
ghorā ṛṣayo namo astv ebhyaś cakṣur yad eṣāṃ manasaś ca satyam | bṛhaspataye mahiṣa dyumann namo viśvakarman namas te pāhy asmān
Terrible are the ṛṣis: homage be to them, and to what is their eye and the truth of their mind. To Bṛhaspati homage, O buffalo, O brilliant one; O Viśvakarman, homage to you: protect us.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Awful are Rishis: unto them be homage, and to their eye and truthfulness of spirit! Loud homage to Brihaspati, O mighty! Homage to thee, O Visvakarman! Guard us.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
AV 2 35.5
यज्ञस्य चक्षुः प्रभृतिर् मुखं च वाचा श्रोत्रेण मनसा जुहोमि । इमं यज्ञं विततं विश्वकर्मणा देवा यन्तु सुमनस्यमानाः
yajñasya cakṣuḥ prabhṛtir mukhaṃ ca vācā śrotreṇa manasā juhomi | imaṃ yajñaṃ vitataṃ viśvakarmaṇā devā yantu sumanasyamānāḥ
The eye of the sacrifice, the presentation, and the mouth — I offer with speech, with hearing, with mind. To this sacrifice, extended by Viśvakarman, let the gods come, being well disposed.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
The eye of sacrifice, source, and beginning—with voice, ear, spirit unto him I offer. To this our sacrifice wrought by Visvakarman may the Gods come gracious and kindly-hearted.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
