Atharva Veda 9.2.22 — Kanda 9, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 2, Mantra 22
Sukta 2
याव॑ती॒र्भृङ्गा॑ ज॒त्वःऽ कु॒रूर॑वो॒ याव॑ती॒र्वघा॑ वृक्षस॒र्प्योऽ बभू॒वुः । तत॒स्त्वम॑सि॒ ज्याया॑न् वि॒श्वहा॑ म॒हांस्तस्मै॑ ते काम॒ नम॒ इत् कृ॑णोमि
yā́vatīr bhṛ́ṅgā jatváḥ kurū́ravo yā́vatīr vághā vṛkṣasárpyo babhūvúḥ | tatás tvám asi jyā́yān viśváhā mahā́ṁs tásmai te kā́ma náma ít kṛṇomi
As many as are the bees, the winged swarms, the harsh-crying; as many as are the smiters, the tree-creeping serpents that have come to be—therefrom art thou the greater, evermore the mighty: to thee, O Kāma, I do indeed make reverent homage.
यावत्यो भृङ्गाः जत्वः कुरूरवो यावत्यो वघा वृक्षसर्प्यः बभूवुः । ततस्त्वमसि ज्यायान् विश्वहा महान्; तस्मै ते काम नम इति कृणोमि ।
