Atharva Veda
For successful pregnancy: with an amulet
yantāsi yachase hastāv apa rakṣāṃsi sedhasi prajāṃ dhanaṃ ca gṛhṇānaḥ parihasto abhūd ayam
For successful pregnancy: with an amulet
Thou art a holder, thou boldest (yam) the two hands, thou drivest away the demons. Seizing (grah) progeny and riches, this hath become a hand-clasp (parihastá).
parihasta vi dhāraya yoniṃ garbhāya dhātave maryāde putram ā dhehi taṃ tvam ā gamayāgame
O hand-clasp, hold apart the womb, in order to placing of the embryo; O thou sign (? maryā́dā), put in a son; him do thou make to come, thou comer (? ā́gamā).
yaṃ parihastam abibhar aditiḥ putrakāmyā tvaṣṭā tam asyā ā badhnād yathā putraṃ janāditi
The hand-clasp that Aditi wore [when] desiring a son—may Tvashṭar bind that on for her, saying "that she may give birth to a son."
