Atharva Veda
To Gandharvas and Apsarases
divyo gandharvo bhuvanasya yas patir eka eva namasyo vikṣv īḍyaḥ taṃ tvā yaumi brahmaṇā divya deva namas te astu divi te sadhastham
To Gandharvas and Apsarases
The heavenly Gandharva, who is lord of being (bhúvana), the only one to receive homage, to be praised (īḍ) among the clans (víç)—thee being such I ban (yu) with incantation, O heavenly god; homage be to thee; in the heaven is thy station.
divi spṛṣṭo yajataḥ sūryatvag avayātā haraso daivyasya mṛḍāt gandharvo bhuvanasya yas patir eka eva namasyaḥ suśevāḥ
Touching the sky, worshipful, sun-skinned, deprecator of the seizure (háras) of the gods—gracious shall be the Gandharva, who is lord of being, the only one to receive homage, very propitious.
anavadyābhiḥ sam u jagma ābhir apsarāsv api gandharva āsīt samudra āsāṃ sadanaṃ ma āhur yataḥ sadya ā ca parā ca yanti
He hath united himself (sam-gam) with those irreproachable ones (f.); in (ápi) among the Apsarases was the Gandharva; in the ocean is, they tell me, their seat, whence at once they both come and go.
abhriye didyun nakṣatriye yā viśvāvasuṃ gandharvaṃ sacadhve tābhyo vo devīr nama it kṛṇomi
O cloudy one, gleamer (didyút), starry one—ye that accompany (sac) the Gandharva Viçvāvasu, to you there, O divine ones, homage do I pay.
yāḥ klandās tamiṣīcayo 'kṣakāmā manomuhaḥ tābhyo gandharvapatnībhyo 'psarābhyo 'karam namaḥ
They that are noisy, dusky, dice-loving, mind-confusing—to those Apsarases, that have the Gandharvas for spouses, have I paid homage.
