Mantra 5
Sukta 25
यज्ञैरथर्वा प्रथमः पथस्तते ततः सूर्यो व्रतपा वेन आजनि । आ गा आजदुशना काव्यः सचा यमस्य जातममृतं यजामहे
yajñáir athárvā prathamáḥ páthas tate tátaḥ sū́ryo vratapā́ vená ā́jani | ā́ gā́ ā́jad uśánā kā́vyaḥ sácā yámasya jātám amṛ́taṃ yajāmahe ||
By sacrifices Atharvan first stretched out the paths; thereafter the Sun, the guardian of ordinance—Vena—was born. Forth drove the Cows did Uśanā Kāvya, in fellowship: that deathlessness, born of Yama, we worship with oblation.
باليَجْنَا (yajña) — القربان المقدّس — بسط أَثَرفَن (Atharvan) أولاً السُّبُل؛ ثم وُلدت الشمس سُورْيَا، حارس الناموس (vratapa)—ڤِينا (Vena). وأخرج أُوشَنَا كافْيَا (Uśanā Kāvya) الأبقارَ سَوِيًّا في صحبةٍ. ذلك الخلود، المولود من يَمَا (Yama)، نعبده بتقدمةٍ.
