Atharva Veda 5.12.8: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 12, Mantra 8
Sukta 12
आ नो॑ यज्ञं भार॑ती॒ तूय॑मे॒त्विडा॑ मनु॒ष्वदि॒ह चे॒तय॑न्ती । ति॒स्रो दे॒वीर्ब॒र्हिरेदं स्यो॒नं सर॑स्वतीः॒ स्वप॑सः सदन्ताम्
ā́ no yajñáṃ bhā́ratī tū́yam etv íḍā manuṣvád ihá cetáyantī | tisró devī́r barhír idáṃ syónam sárasvatīḥ svápasaḥ sádantām ||
Hither to us let Bhāratī come swiftly unto the sacrifice; let Iḍā, after the manner of Manu, here awaken (our rite). Let the three Goddesses sit upon this pleasant, kindly Barhis—Sarasvatīs, of goodly operation.
भारती देवी जल्दी आएँ यहाँ यज्ञ के लिए। इडा देवी मनु की तरह हमें जगाएँ और यज्ञ में दिल लगा दें। तीनों देवियाँ इस कुश आसन पर बैठें, सरस्वती और उसकी सहेलियाँ, जो अच्छा काम करती हैं।
