Atharva Veda 1.11

vaṣaṭ te pūṣann asmint sūtāv aryamā hotā kṛṇotu vedhāḥ sisratāṃ nāry ṛtaprajātā vi parvāṇi jihatāṃ sūtavā u

For successful childbirth

At this birth, O Pūshan, let Aryaman [as] efficient (vedhás) invoker utter váṣaṭ for thee; let the woman, rightly engendered, be relaxed; let her joints go apart in order to birth.

catasro divaḥ pradiśaś catasro bhūmyā uta devā garbhaṃ sam airayan taṃ vy ūrṇuvantu sūtave

Four [are] the directions of the sky, four also of the earth: the gods sent together the fœtus; let them unclose her in order to birth.

sūṣā vy ūrṇotu vi yoniṃ hāpayāmasi śrathayā sūṣaṇe tvam ava tvaṃ biṣkale sṛja

Let Pūshan (?) unclose [her or it]; we make the yóni go apart; do thou, sūṣaṇā, loosen; do thou, biṣkalā, let go.

neva māṃse na pīvasi neva majjasv āhatam avaitu pṛśni śevalaṃ śune jarāyv attave 'va jarāyu padyatām

Not as it were stuck (ā́hata) in the flesh, not in the fat, not as it were in the marrows, let the spotted slimy (?) afterbirth come down, for the dog to eat; let the afterbirth descend.

vi te bhinadmi mehanaṃ vi yoniṃ vi gavīnike vi mātaraṃ ca putraṃ ca vi kumāraṃ jarāyuṇāva jarāyu padyatām

I split apart thy urinator, apart the yóni, apart the [two] groins, apart both the mother and the child, apart the boy from the afterbirth; let the afterbirth descend.

yathā vāto yathā mano yathā patanti pakṣiṇaḥ evā tvaṃ daśamāsya sākaṃ jarāyuṇā patāva jarāyu padyatām

As the wind, as the mind, as fly the birds, so do thou, O ten months' [child], fly along with the afterbirth; let the afterbirth descend.
