Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 7 — Chapter 28

AV 7 28.1

वेदः स्वस्तिर् द्रुघणः स्वस्तिः परशुर् वेदिः परशुर् नः स्वस्ति । हविष्कृतो यज्ञिया यज्ञकामास् ते देवासो यज्ञम् इमं जुषन्ताम्

vedaḥ svastir drughaṇaḥ svastiḥ paraśur vediḥ paraśur naḥ svasti | haviṣkṛto yajñiyā yajñakāmās te devāso yajñam imaṃ juṣantām

The grass-bundle is well-being, the wooden mallet is well-being, the axe, the altar, the axe is well-being for us. The preparers of the oblation, worthy of sacrifice, desiring sacrifice — may those gods take pleasure in this sacrifice.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Blest be the Broom, may the Mace bring a blessing, and may the Altar and the Hatchet bless us. Worshipful Gods, may they accept this worship, lovers of sacri- fice, and sacrificers.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
