Atharva Veda 2.30.2: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 30, Mantra 2

Sukta 30

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

सं चेन्नया॑थो अश्विना का॒मिना॒ सं च॒ वक्ष॑थः । सं वां॒ भगा॑सो अग्मत॒ सं चि॒त्तानि॒ समु॑ व्र॒ता

IAST Transliteration

sáṃ céd nayā́tho aśvinā kāmíṇā sáṃ ca váxathaḥ | sáṃ vāṃ bhágāso agmata sáṃ cittā́ni sámu vratā́ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

If ye, O Aśvins, moved by desire, lead (us) together and together bear (us onward),—together have your portions of good fortune come; together (be) the thoughts, together wholly the vows.

Translation

يا أشفين، إن كنتما بدافع الشوق، فاقودانا معًا واحملانا معًا إلى الأمام؛ معًا لتأتِ أنصبتكما من الحظّ السعيد؛ معًا لتكن الخواطر، ومعًا لتكن النذور كلّها.
