Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 18.4.22

apūpavā́n madhumā́ṃś carúr eha sī́datu | lokakṛ́taḥ pathikṛ́to yajāmahe yé devā́nāṃ hutabhā́gā ihá sthá

Let the cooked offering, rich in cake and honey-sweet, be set down here. We do sacrifice unto the World-builders, the Path-makers, who have their portion in the gods’ oblation: be ye here present.

यह मीठी पूजा जिसमें रोटी और शहद है, यहीं रख दो। हम उन देवताओं को पूजा करते हैं जिन्होंने दुनिया बनाई और रास्ते बनाए। जो देवताओं के हिस्से में बात है, वो यहीं आजाएँ।
