Sukta 130
यथा॒ मम॒ स्मरा॑द॒सौ नामुष्या॒हं क॒दा च॒न। देवाः॒ प्र हि॑णुत स्म॒रम॒सौ मामनु॑ शोचतु
yáthā máma smarād asáu ná amúṣya aháṃ kadā́ cana | devā́ḥ prá hiṇuta smarám asáu mām ánu śocatu
So may yonder one remember me—and never that other—at any time at all. O Gods, drive forth Smara: let yonder one burn after me.
So möge jener meiner gedenken – und niemals jener anderen – zu keiner Zeit. O Götter, treibt Smara voran; jener soll nach mir schmachten und in Sehnsucht verzehren.
Rishi: Atharvanic/anonymous
