Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 9.4.2

apā́ṃ yó agné pratímā babhū́va prabhū́ḥ sárvasmai pṛthivī́va devī́ | pitā́ vatsā́nāṃ pátir aghnyā́nāṃ sāhasré póṣe ápi naḥ kṛṇotu

He who, O Agni, hath become the waters’ very counterpart—mighty for all, like Earth the Goddess—father of calves, lord of the inviolable cows: in thousandfold thriving let him make it come upon us.

ಓ ಅಗ್ನೇ, ಅಪಾಂ (ಜಲಗಳ) ಪ್ರತಿಮೆಯಾಗಿ ಆದವನು—ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಪ್ರಭು, ದೇವಿ ಪೃಥ್ವಿಯಂತೆ ಮಹಾನ್—ಕರುಗಳ ತಂದೆ, ಅಘ್ನ್ಯಾ (ಅವಧ್ಯ) ಹಸುಗಳ ಅಧಿಪತಿ: ಅವನು ನಮಗೆ ಸಹಸ್ರಗుణ ಪೋಷಣ-ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಯನ್ನು ತರಲಿ.
