सर्वो॒ वै तत्र॑ जीवति॒ गौरश्वः॒ पुरु॑षः प॒शुः । यत्रे॒दं ब्रह्म॑ क्रि॒यते॑ परि॒धिर्जीव॑नाय॒ कम्

All verily live there—cow and horse, man and beast—where this holy spell is wrought, a boundary made for life and blessed weal.
Wszyscy zaprawdę żyją tam - krowa i koń, człowiek i zwierzę - gdzie to święte zaklęcie jest wypowiadane, granica ustanowiona dla życia i błogiego dobra.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (Āyusya hymn-cycle).
Devata: Brahman (spell) and Paridhi (protective enclosure) as functional divinities.
