Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 5.4.3

aśvatthó devásadanas tṛtī́yasya amíto diví | tátrāmṛ́tasya cákṣaṇaṃ devā́ḥ kúṣṭham avanvata ||

The Aśvattha is the Gods’ own seat in the third, immeasurable heaven: there was the token of immortality; there the Gods won Kuṣṭha.

पीपल का पेड़ देवताओं का बसेरा है, तीसरे आसमान में, जहाँ कोई हद नहीं है। वहाँ अमृत की निशानी मिली थी। वहाँ देवताओं ने कुष्ठ नाम की दवा पाई थी जो बीमारी ठीक करती है।
