Atharva Veda 7.47.1: Kanda 7, Anuvaka 5, Sukta 47, Mantra 1
Sukta 47
कुहूः। कु॒हूं दे॒वीं सु॒कृतं॑ विद्म॒नाप॑सम॒स्मिन् य॒ज्ञे सु॒हवा॑ जोहवीमि । सा नो॑ र॒यिं वि॒श्ववा॑रं॒ नि यच्छाद् ददा॑तु वी॒रं श॒तदा॑यमु॒क्थ्यऽम्
kuhūḥ | kuhū́ṃ devī́ṃ sukṛ́taṃ vidmánā́pasam asmín yajñé suhávā johavīmi | sā́ no rayíṃ viśvá-vāraṃ ní yacchād dádātu vīráṃ śatá-dāyam ukthyàm
Kuhū! Kuhū, the Goddess, beneficent, with knowledge active, in this sacrifice—easy to invoke—I call on her again and again. May she assign to us wealth of every choicest sort, and give a hero-son, a hundred-giving boon, worthy of hymn.
कुहू देवी को बुलाया जा रहा है। यह यज्ञ में काम करती है और अच्छा करती है। इसलिए उसे बार-बार पुकारा जाता है। वो हमें हर तरह की धन दे। एक बेटा दे जो बहुत देने वाला हो और जिसके बारे में गाना बनता है।
