Atharva Veda 1.4.2: Kanda 1, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 4, Mantra 2
Sukta 4
अ॒मूर्या उप॒ सूर्ये॒ याभि॑र्वा॒ सूर्यः॑ स॒ह। ता नो॑ हिन्वन्त्वध्व॒रम्
amū́ryā úpa sū́rye yā́bhir vā sū́ryaḥ sahá | tā́ no hinvantu adhvarám
The Amūryā Powers, attendant on the Sun—wherewith, indeed, the Sun is joined—may they impel for us the rite (adhvara) to its due accomplishment.
Die Amūryā-Kräfte, die der Sonne beistehen — mit denen, wahrlich, die Sonne verbunden ist — mögen sie für uns den adhvara (heiligen Ritus/Opfergang) antreiben und ihn zur rechten Vollendung führen.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī; commonly within early Atharvan strata tied to solar protective formulae)
Devata: Sūrya (with attendant Amūryāḥ powers)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (pragmatically treated as anuṣṭubh-like; pāda division suggests a compact charm-meter)
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: shanta
