Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 20 — Chapter 140

AV 20 140.1

यन् नासत्या भुरण्यथो यद् वा देव भिषज्यथः । अयं वां वत्सो मतिभिर् न विन्धते हविष्मन्तं हि गछथः

yan nāsatyā bhuraṇyatho yad vā deva bhiṣajyathaḥ | ayaṃ vāṃ vatso matibhir na vindhate haviṣmantaṃ hi gachathaḥ

In whatever you stir yourselves, O Nāsatyas, or in whatever you two gods heal — this Vatsa of yours does not fall short with his thoughts, for you go to him who has oblation.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

What force, Nāsatyas, ye exert, whatever, Gods, ye tend and heal, This your own Vatsa gains not by his hymns alone: ye visit him who offers gifts.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)

AV 20 140.2

आ नूनम् अश्विनोर् ऋषि स्तोमं चिकेत वामया । आ सोमं मधुमत्तमं घर्मं सिञ्चाद् अथर्वणि

ā nūnam aśvinor ṛṣi stomaṃ ciketa vāmayā | ā somaṃ madhumattamaṃ gharmaṃ siñcād atharvaṇi

Now the ṛṣi has taken note of the praise of the Aśvins, with a lovely (song); let him pour the most honeyed Soma, the hot draught, upon Atharvan.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Now hath the Rishi splendidly thought out the Asvins' hymn of praise. Let the Atharvan pour the warm oblation forth, and Soma very rich in sweets.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)

AV 20 140.3

आ नूनं रघुवर्तनिं रथं तिष्ठाथो अश्विना । आ वां स्तोमा इमे मम नभो न चुच्यवीरत

ā nūnaṃ raghuvartaniṃ rathaṃ tiṣṭhātho aśvinā | ā vāṃ stomā ime mama nabho na cucyavīrata

Now mount, O Aśvins, the swift-rolling chariot; these praises of mine have stirred you, as (winds stir) a cloud.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Ye Asvins, now ascend your car that lightly rolls upon its way. May these my praises make you speed hitherward like a cloud of heaven.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)

AV 20 140.4

यद् अद्य वां नासत्योक्थैर् आचुच्युवीमहि । यद् वा वाणीभिर् अश्विनेवेत् कण्वस्य बोधतम्

yad adya vāṃ nāsatyokthair ācucyuvīmahi | yad vā vāṇībhir aśvinevet kaṇvasya bodhatam

If today, O Nāsatyas, we have stirred you hither with recitations, or if with songs, O Aśvins — even so take notice of Kaṇva.

When, O Nāsatyas, we this day make you speed hither N ith our hymns, Or, Asvins, with our songs of praise, remember Kānva specially.

AV 20 140.5

यद् वां कक्षीवाꣳ उत यद् व्यश्व ऋषिर् यद् वां दीर्घतमा जुहाव । पृथी यद् वां वैन्यः सादनेष्व् एवेद् अतो अश्विना चेतयेथाम्

yad vāṃ kakṣīvāṁ uta yad vyaśva ṛṣir yad vāṃ dīrghatamā juhāva | pṛthī yad vāṃ vainyaḥ sādaneṣv eved ato aśvinā cetayethām

As Kakṣīvān, and as the ṛṣi Vyaśva, as Dīrghatamas called to you, as Pṛthī son of Vena (called you) at the seats (of sacrifice) — even so from that, O Aśvins, take heed.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

As erst Kakshivān and the Rishi Vyasva, as erst Dirghatamas invoked your presence, Or, in the sacrificial chambers, Vainya Prithī, so be ye mindful of us here, O Asvins.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
