Atharva Veda
With an offering for offspring
etaṃ bhāgaṃ pari dadāmi vidvān viśvakarman prathamajā ṛtasya asmābhir dattaṃ jarasaḥ parastād achinnaṃ tantum anu saṃ tarema
With an offering for offspring
This portion I, knowing, make over [to thee], O Viçvakarman, first-born of right; by us [is it] given, beyond old age; along an unbroken line may we pass (tṛ) together.
tataṃ tantum anv eke taranti yeṣāṃ dattaṃ pitryam āyanena abandhv eke dadataḥ prayacchanto dātuṃ cecchikṣāntsa svarga eva
Some pass along the extended line, of whom what is the Fathers' [was] given in course (? ā́yanena); some, without relatives, giving, bestowing—if they be able to give, that is very heaven.
anvārabhethām anusaṃrabhethām etaṃ lokaṃ śraddadhānāḥ sacante yad vāṃ pakvaṃ pariviṣṭam agnau tasya guptaye dampatī saṃ śrayethām
Take ye (both) hold after, take hold together after; to this world they that have faith attach themselves (sac); what cooked [offering] of yours is served up in the fire, combine ye, O husband and wife, in order to the guarding of it.
yajñam yantaṃ manasā bṛhantam anvārohāmi tapasā sayoniḥ upahūtā agne jarasaḥ parastāt tṛtīye nāke sadhamādaṃ madema
The great sacrifice, as it goes, with mind, I ascend after, with fervor (? tápas), of like origin; being called upon, O Agni, may we, beyond old age, revel in joint reveling in the third firmament.
śuddhāḥ pūtā yoṣito yajñiyā imā brahmaṇāṃ hasteṣu prapṛthak sādayāmi yatkāma idaṃ abhiṣiñcāmi vo 'haṃ indro marutvāntsa dadātu tan me
These cleansed, purified, worshipful maidens I seat in separate succession in the hands of the priests (brahmán); with what desire I now pour you on, let Indra here with the Maruts grant me that.
