Atharva Veda 19.39.3: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 39, Mantra 3
Sukta 39
जी॒व॒ला नाम॑ ते मा॒ता जी॑व॒न्तो नाम॑ ते पि॒ता। नद्या॒यं पुरु॑षो रिषत्। यस्मै॑ परि॒ब्रवी॑मि त्वा सा॒यंप्रा॑त॒रथो॒ दिवा॑
jīvalā́ nā́ma te mātā́ jīvánto nā́ma te pitā́ | nadyā́yāṃ púruṣo riṣat | yásmai paribrávīmi tvā sāyáṃprā́tar átho dívā ||
Jīvalā by name is thy mother; Jīvantá by name is thy father. At the river a man is injured; for whom I speak thee round about—at eve, at morn, and also by day.
जीवला नाम ते माता, जीवन्तो नाम ते पिता। नद्यायां पुरुषो रिष्यति। यस्मै त्वां परिब्रवीमि—सायं प्रातरथो दिवा च।
