Atharva Veda 6.22.2: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 22, Mantra 2
Sukta 22
पय॑स्वतीः कृणुथा॒प ओष॑धीः शि॒वा यदेज॑था मरुतो रुक्मवक्षसः । ऊर्जं॑ च॒ तत्र॑ सुम॒तिं च॑ पिन्वत॒ यत्रा॑ नरो मरुतः सि॒ञ्चथा॒ मधु॑
páyasvatīḥ kṛṇutha ā́pa óṣadhīḥ śivā́ yád éjatha maruto rukmavakṣasaḥ | ū́rjaṃ ca tátra sumatíṃ ca pinvata yátrā naro marutaḥ siñcáthā mádhu
Make ye the plants sap-rich, O Waters—benign—when ye, O Maruts of the golden breast, bestir yourselves. There do ye swell both nourishment and kindly favour, where, O heroic Maruts, ye pour down sweetness.
पानी, तुम पौधों को रस भरा बनाओ। जब मरुत्स, जो सोने जैसे चमकते हैं, चलते हैं, तब वो भलाई करते हैं। वहाँ तुम पोषण और अच्छा भाव दोनों को बढ़ाओ। वहाँ मरुत्स मीठा बरसाते हैं।
