Mantra 5
Sukta 25
यज्ञैरथर्वा प्रथमः पथस्तते ततः सूर्यो व्रतपा वेन आजनि । आ गा आजदुशना काव्यः सचा यमस्य जातममृतं यजामहे
yajñáir athárvā prathamáḥ páthas tate tátaḥ sū́ryo vratapā́ vená ā́jani | ā́ gā́ ā́jad uśánā kā́vyaḥ sácā yámasya jātám amṛ́taṃ yajāmahe ||
By sacrifices Atharvan first stretched out the paths; thereafter the Sun, the guardian of ordinance—Vena—was born. Forth drove the Cows did Uśanā Kāvya, in fellowship: that deathlessness, born of Yama, we worship with oblation.
凭借祭献，阿闼婆（Atharvan）最先铺展诸道；其后，守护誓法的太阳——维那（Vena）——诞生。乌沙那·迦毗耶（Uśanā Kāvya）与之同伴，驱出群牛。那由阎摩（Yama）而生的不死性，我们以供献而敬拜。
