Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 7 — Chapter 40

AV 7 40.1

यस्य व्रतं पशवो यन्ति सर्वे यस्य व्रत उपतिष्ठन्त आपः । यस्य व्रते पुष्टपतिर् निविष्टस् तं सरस्वन्तम् अवसे हवामहे

yasya vrataṃ paśavo yanti sarve yasya vrata upatiṣṭhanta āpaḥ | yasya vrate puṣṭapatir niviṣṭas taṃ sarasvantam avase havāmahe

He under whose vrata all the cattle go, in whose vrata the waters take their place, in whose vrata the lord of prosperity is settled — him, Sarasvant, we call for aid.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

We call Sarasvān, under whose protection all cattle wander, to preserve and aid us, Him in whose ordinance abide the waters, to whose command the Lord of Plenty listens.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)

AV 7 40.2

आ प्रत्यञ्चं दाशुषे दाश्वंसं सरस्वन्तं पुष्टपतिं रयिष्ठाम् । रायस् पोषं श्रवस्युं वसाना इह सदनं रयीणाम्

ā pratyañcaṃ dāśuṣe dāśvaṃsaṃ sarasvantaṃ puṣṭapatiṃ rayiṣṭhām | rāyas poṣaṃ śravasyuṃ vasānā iha sadanaṃ rayīṇām

Hither (we call) the one turned toward (us), giving to the giver, Sarasvant, lord of prosperity, rich in riches; clothing ourselves in the thriving of wealth, in glory — here (is) the seat of riches.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Abiding here let us invoke Sarasvān, the seat of riches, glorious, wealth-increaser, Him who inclines and gives to him who worships, the rich pos- sessor and the Lord of Fulness.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
