Atharva Veda 12.3.5: Kanda 12, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 5

Sukta 3

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

यं वां॑ पि॒ता पच॑ति॒ यं च॑ मा॒ता रि॒प्रान्निर्मु॑क्त्यै॒ शम॑लाच्च वा॒चः । स ओ॑द॒नः श॒तधा॑रः स्व॒र्ग उ॒भे व्याऽप नभ॑सी महि॒त्वा

IAST Transliteration

yáṁ vā́ṁ pitā́ pácati yáṁ ca mātā́ riprā́n nirmúktyai śámalāc ca vā́caḥ | sá odanáḥ śatádhāraḥ svargá ubhé vy-ā́pa nábhasī mahitvā́ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

That which your Father cooketh for you, and that which also your Mother—unto release from blemish and from sin, and from the fault of speech—that porridge, hundred-streamed, heaven-winning, hath with its majesty filled both the firmaments.

Translation

మీ తండ్రి మీకోసం వండేది, మీ తల్లీ—కలంకం నుండి, పాపం నుండి, అలాగే వాక్దోషం నుండి విముక్తి కోసం—వండేదీ; ఆ ఓదనం శతధార (వంద ప్రవాహాల) గలది, స్వర్గప్రదం; తన మహిమతో రెండు నభస్సులను వ్యాపింపజేస్తుంది.
