Sukta 106

अ॒पामि॒दं न्यय॑नं समु॒द्रस्य॑ नि॒वेश॑नम्। मध्ये॑ ह्र॒दस्य॑ नो गृ॒हाः प॑रा॒चीना॒ मुखा॑ कृधि

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 6.106.2

apā́m idáṃ nyáyanam samudrásya nivéśanam | mádhye hradásya no gṛhā́ḥ parācī́nā múkhā kṛdhi ||

This is the waters’ downward-leading, the sea’s resting-place. In the midst of the pool set thou our houses, with faces turned away.

यह पानी नीचे की तरफ जाता है, समुंदर के पास जाके रुकता है। तालाब के बीच में हमारे घर बना दो। उनके दरवाज़े उस तरफ रखना जहाँ से लोग न आए।
