Atharva Veda
Accompanying the consecration of a king
bhūto bhūteṣu paya ā dadhāti sa bhūtānām adhipatir babhūva tasya mṛtyuś carati rājasūyaṃ sa rājā anu manyatām idaṃ
Accompanying the consecration of a king
The being (bhūtá) sets milk in beings; he has become the overlord of beings; Death attends (car) the royal consecration (rājasū́ya) of him; let him, as king, approve this royalty.
abhi prehi māpa vena ugraś cettā sapatnahā ā tiṣṭha mitravardhana tubhyam devā adhi bruvan
Go forward unto [it]; do not long (? ven) away, a stern (ugrá) corrector (cettár), rival-slayer; approach (ā-sthā), O increaser of friends; may the gods bless (adhi-brū) thee.
ātiṣṭhantaṃ pari viśve abhūṣañchriyaṃ vasānaś carati svarociḥ mahat tad vṛṣṇo asurasya nāmā viśvarūpo amṛtāni tasthau
Him approaching all waited upon (pari-bhūṣ); clothing himself in fortune, he goes about (car), having own brightness; great is that name of the virile (vṛ́ṣan) Asura; having all forms, he approached immortal things.
vyāghro adhi vaiyāghre vi kramasva diśo mahīḥ viśas tvā sarvā vāñchantv āpo divyāḥ payasvatīḥ
A tiger, upon the tiger's [skin], do thou stride out unto the great quarters; let all the people (víças) want thee, the waters of heaven, rich in milk.
