Atharva Veda 18.4.35: Kanda 18, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 4, Mantra 35

Sukta 4

वै॒श्वा॒न॒रे ह॒विरि॒दं जु॑होमि साह॒स्रं श॒तधा॑र॒मुत्स॑म्। स बि॑भर्ति पि॒तरं॑ पिताम॒हान् प्र॑पिताम॒हान् बि॑भर्ति॒ पिन्व॑मानः

vaiśvānaráe havír idáṁ juhomi sāhasráṁ śatádhāram útsam | sá bibharti pitáraṁ pitāmahā́n prápitāmahā́n bibharti pínvamānaḥ ||

To Vaiśvānara I offer here this oblation, a fountain thousandfold, with hundred streams. He beareth the father, he beareth the grandsires; the great-grandsires he beareth, waxing full.

వైశ్వానరునికి నేను ఇక్కడ ఈ హవిస్సును జుహోమి—సహస్రగుణమైన, శతధారలతో ప్రవహించే ఉత్సంలా. అతడు తండ్రిని ధరిస్తాడు; పితామహులను ధరిస్తాడు; ప్రపితామహులను కూడా ధరిస్తాడు—తానే పుష్టిగా నిండుతూ.
