Atharva Veda 5.29.13: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 29, Mantra 13
Sukta 29
सोम॑स्येव जातवेदो अं॒शुरा प्या॑यताम॒यम्। अग्ने॑ विर॒प्शिनं॒ मेध्य॑मय॒क्ष्मं कृ॑णु॒ जीव॑तु
sómasyeva jātavedo aṃśúr ā́ pyā́yatām ayám | ágne virapśínaṃ médhyam ayákṣmaṃ kṛṇu jī́vatu
Like Soma’s stalk, O Jātavedas, let this man grow full unto thriving. O Agni, make him well-shaped, pure for holy use, free from wasting sickness; let him live.
अग्नि को पुकारा जा रहा है, जो सब कुछ जानता है। दुआ है कि यह आदमी सोम के पेड़ की तरह बड़े और फुल हो। अग्नि, इसको अच्छा शेप में ला, पूजा के लायक बना, और बिमारी से आज़ाद कर। यह जीता रहे।
