Atharva Veda 18.2.22 — Kanda 18, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 2, Mantra 22

Sukta 2

उत् त्वा॑ वहन्तु म॒रुत॑ उदवा॒हा उ॑द॒प्रुतः॑ । अ॒जेन॑ कृ॒ण्वन्तः॑ शी॒तं व॒र्षेणो॑क्षन्तु॒ बालिति॑

út tvā vahantu marúta udavāhā́ udaprútaḥ | ajéna kṛṇvántaḥ śītáṃ varṣéṇókṣantu bāl íti ||

Up let the Maruts bear thee—upbearing, up-springing; with the goat making coolness, with rain let them sprinkle thee—so be it.

మరుతులు నిన్ను పైకి మోసుకుపోవుగాక—ఊర్ధ్వవాహకులై, ఊర్ధ్వంగా ఉద్భవింపజేసి; అజుడు (మేక) ద్వారా శీతలతను కలిగిస్తూ, వర్షంతో నిన్ను చల్లుగాక—అలానే కావుగాక.
