Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 13.2.15
IAST Transliteration

táṃ samā́pnoti jūtíbhis táto nā́pa cikitsati | ténā́mṛtasya bhakṣáṃ devā́nāṃ nā́va rundhate ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Him he attains with swift impulsions; thereafter he wavereth not at all. Thereby he hindereth not the Gods’ appointed portion of immortality for their enjoyment.

Translation

அவனை அவன் வேகமான உந்துதல்களால் அடைகிறான்; அதன் பின் சிறிதும் தளர்வதில்லை. இதனால் தேவர்களின் போகத்திற்காக நியமிக்கப்பட்ட அம்ருதப் பங்கை (பக்ஷம்) அவன் தடுக்கவில்லை.
