Atharva Veda 12.3.45: Kanda 12, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 45

Sukta 3

इ॒दं प्राप॑मुत्त॒मं काण्ड॑मस्य॒ यस्मा॑ल्लो॒कात् प॑रमे॒ष्ठी स॒माप॑ । आ सि॑ञ्च स॒र्पिर्घृ॒तव॒त् सम॑ङ्ग्ध्ये॒ष भा॒गो अङ्गि॑रसो नो॒ अत्र॑

idáṁ prā́pam uttamáṁ kā́ṇḍam asyá yásmāl lokā́t parameṣṭhī́ samā́pa | ā́ siñca sarpír ghṛtávát samáṅgdhy eṣá bhāgó áṅgirasaḥ no atrá

This highest portion hereof have I attained—from that world whence Parameṣṭhin won full reach. Pour on the ghee, rich with ghṛta; anoint it well: this is the Aṅgiras-share for us, here.

ഇതിന്റെ ഈ പരമോന്നത ഭാഗം ഞാൻ പ്രാപിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു—പരമേഷ്ഠി പൂർണ്ണസിദ്ധി നേടിയ ആ ലോകത്തിൽ നിന്നു. ഘൃതവത്തായ സർപ്പിസ് (നെയ്യ്) ഒഴിക്കുക; ഇതിനെ നന്നായി അഭ്യംഗം ചെയ്യുക: ഇവിടെ ഇതാണ് ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് അങ്ഗിരസരുടെ പങ്ക്.
