Atharva Veda 5.11.9: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 11, Mantra 9
Sukta 11
आ ते॑ स्तोत्राण्युद्य॑तानि यन्त्व॒न्तर्विश्वा॑सु॒ मानु॑षीषु दि॒क्षु। दे॒हि नु मे॒ यन्मे॒ अद॑त्तो॒ असि॒ युज्यो॑ मे स॒प्तप॑दः॒ सखा॑सि
ā́ te stótrāṇy udyátāni yantv antár víśvāsu mā́nuṣīṣu dikṣú | dehí nu mé yán me ádatto ási yújyo me saptápadaḥ sákhā́si
Hither let thy praises, uplifted, come—within all the human quarters of the world. Now give thou me that which thou art given unto me: with me thou art a meet ally; a seven-stepped friend art thou.
तुम्हारी तारीफ के गीत सब जगह पहुँचें, हर दिशा में लोगों तक। अब मुझे वो दे दो जो तुमने मुझे देना है। तुम मेरा सही साथी हो, सात कदम का दोस्त हो।
