Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 7 — Chapter 2

AV 7 2.1

अथर्वाणं पितरं देवबन्धुं मातुर् गर्भं पितुर् असुं युवानम् । य इमं यज्ञम् मनसा चिकेत प्र णो वोचस् तम् इहेह ब्रवः

atharvāṇaṃ pitaraṃ devabandhuṃ mātur garbhaṃ pitur asuṃ yuvānam | ya imaṃ yajñam manasā ciketa pra ṇo vocas tam iheha bravaḥ

Atharvan the father, kinsman of the gods, the embryo of the mother, the breath of the father, the youth — whoever has perceived this sacrifice with his mind, declare him to us, speak of him here, here.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Invoke for us, proclaim in sundry places, the kinsman of the Gods, our sire Atharvan, His mother's germ, his father's breath, the youthful, who with his mind hath noticed this oblation.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
