Atharva Veda 19.32.7: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 32, Mantra 7
Sukta 32
द॒र्भेण॑ दे॒वजा॑तेन दि॒वि ष्ट॒म्भेन॒ शश्व॒दित्। तेना॒हं शश्व॑तो॒ जनाँ॒ अस॑नं॒ सन॑वानि च
dárbheṇa devájātena diví ṣṭámbhena śáśvad ít | ténāháṃ śáśvato jánāṃ ásanaṃ sánavāni ca
With darbha, god-begotten, the everlasting prop in heaven—with that may I win perpetual folk, and win a seat besides.
दर्भा घास देवता की तरह पैदा हुई है। यह आसमान में हमेशा के लिए खड़ी रहती है। मैं इस्से हमेशा के लिए लोगों को जीत लेता हूँ। मुझे अपनी जगह भी बना लेते हैं।
