Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1Ye who are present, unto you I offer this treasure brought to
us by Jātavedas
Happily will the sacrificer follow: do ye acknowledge him in
highest heaven.
2Do ye acknowledge him in highest heaven: ye know the world
here present in assembly.
In peace will he who sacrifices follow: show him the joy which
comes from pious actions.
3Gods are the Fathers, and the Fathers Gods. I am the very man
I am.
4I cook, I give, I offer up oblation. From what I gave let me
not be disparted.
5O King, take thou thy stand in heaven, there also let that gift
be placed. p. a259
Recognize, King, the gift which we have given, and be gracious,
God!
