Atharva Veda 10.2.29: Kanda 10, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 2, Mantra 29
Sukta 2
यो वै तां ब्रह्म॑णो॒ वेदा॒मृते॒नावृ॑तां॒ पुर॑म्। तस्मै॒ ब्रह्म॑ च ब्रा॒ह्माश्च॒ चक्षुः॑ प्रा॒णं प्र॒जां द॑दुः
yó vái tā́ṃ bráhmaṇo védāmṛ́tenā́vṛtāṃ púram | tásmai bráhma ca brāhmā́ś ca cákṣuḥ prāṇáṃ prajā́ṃ dadúḥ
Whoso, in very truth, knoweth that fortress of Brahman, covered round with immortality—to him Brahman and the Brahmā-priests have given sight, and breath, and progeny.
जो कोई ब्रह्मन की उस पुर को जानता है, वो अमृत से ढाकी हुई है। उस इंसान को ब्रह्मन और पंडित लोग देखने की ताकत देते हैं। साँस मिलता है और औलाद भी मिलती है।
