Sukta 2
मू॒र्धान॑मस्य सं॒सीव्याथ॑र्वा॒ हृद॑यं च॒ यत्। म॒स्तिष्का॑दू॒र्ध्वः प्रैर॑य॒त् पव॑मा॒नोऽधि॑ शीर्ष॒तः
mūrdhā́nam asya saṃsī́vy átharvā hṛ́dayaṃ ca yát | mastíṣkād ūrdhváḥ práirayat pavámāno’dhí śīrṣatáḥ
Atharvan, having as it were sewn fast his head, and that heart of his, impelled upward from the brain the self-purifying power, upon the summit of the head.
अथर्व रिशि ने सर को ठीक से जोड़ा, जैसे सील कर। दिल को भी पकड़ा। दिमाग से एक ताकत ऊपर भेजी, जो खुद को साफ करती है। यह सर के ऊपर से गई।
