Sukta 9
यत् ते शिरो यत् ते मुखं यौ कर्णौ ये च ते हनू । आमिक्षां दुह्रतां दात्रे क्षीरं सर्पिरथो मधु
yát te śíro yát te múkhaṃ yáu kárṇau yé ca te hánū | āmíkṣāṃ duhratāṃ dātré kṣīráṃ sárpir átho mádhu
Thy head, thy mouth, thine ears that twain, and thy two jaws besides—let them yield āmikṣā for the giver: milk, and ghee, and honey.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (see Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Cow and her productive faculties; implicitly the offering-substances as deified nourishment.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh.
