Atharva Veda 18.3.63: Kanda 18, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 63

Sukta 3

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

यो द॒ध्रे अ॒न्तरि॑क्षे॒ न म॒ह्ना पि॑तॄ॒णां क॒विः प्रम॑तिर्मती॒नाम्। तम॑र्चत वि॒श्वमि॑त्रा ह॒विर्भिः॒ स नो॑ य॒मः प्र॑त॒रं जी॒वसे॑ धात्

IAST Transliteration

yó dadhré antárikṣe ná mahnā́ pitṝṇā́ṃ kavíḥ prámatir matīnā́m | tám arcata viśvámitrā́ havírbhiḥ sá no yamáḥ prátaraṃ jīváse dhāt

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

He who is set in the mid-air, as by his greatness—the Fathers’ sage, the forethought of men’s thoughts—him worship, O ye friends of all, with oblations: may that Yama ordain for us a further passage unto life.

Translation

ท่านผู้ซึ่งด้วยความยิ่งใหญ่ได้ตั้งอยู่ในอากาศกลาง (antarikṣa)—เป็นฤๅษีของบรรพชน เป็นปัญญาล่วงหน้าของความคิดทั้งหลาย โอ้เหล่ามิตรแห่งสรรพสิ่ง (Viśvamitrāḥ) จงบูชาท่านนั้นด้วยเครื่องบูชา (havis) ขอให้ยมะ (Yama) องค์นั้นทรงกำหนดหนทางต่อไปให้เรา เพื่อไปสู่ชีวิต
