Atharva Veda 19.68.1: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 7, Sukta 68, Mantra 1
Sukta 68
वेदोक्तं कर्म। अव्य॑सश्च॒ व्यच॑सश्च॒ बिलं॒ वि ष्या॑मि मा॒यया॑ । ताभ्या॑मु॒द्धृत्य॒ वेद॒मथ॒ कर्मा॑णि कृण्महे
vedóktam kárma | avyásaś ca vyácaśaś ca biláṃ ví ṣyāmi māyáyā | tā́bhyām uddhṛ́tya védam átha kármāṇi kṛṇmahe
A rite enjoined by the Veda: with Avyasa and with Vyacas will I, by magic power, cleave open the cavity; and, having drawn forth the Veda by those twain, then do we perform the rites.
वेद में जो कर्म बताया गया है, वो करना है। अव्यस और व्यचस, यह दो शक्तियाँ हैं। इनके साथ एक छेद करना है ताकि वेद का ज्ञान बाहर आए। फिर उस ज्ञान से पूजा और कर्म करते हैं।
Rishi: Atharvanic/anonymous (late technical verse).
Devata: Avyasa and Vyacas (paired powers); secondarily Veda/Brahman as efficacious speech.
Chandas: Mixed/prose-like with anuṣṭubh cadence; often treated as a technical mantra rather than strict metrical verse.
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: shanta
