Atharva Veda 6.89

To win affection

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

idaṃ yat preṇyaḥ śiro dattaṃ somena vṛṣṇyam tataḥ pari prajātena hārdiṃ te śocayāmasi

English · William Dwight Whitney

To win affection

This head that is love's (? preṇí), virility given by Soma—by what is engendered out of that, do we pain (çocaya) thy heart.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

śocayāmasi te hārdiṃ śocayāmasi te manaḥ vātaṃ dhūma iva sadhryaṅ mām evānv etu te manaḥ

English · William Dwight Whitney

We pain thy heart; we pain thy mind; as smoke the wind, close upon it (sadhryàñc), so let thy mind go after me.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

mahyaṃ tvā mitrāvaruṇau mahyaṃ devī sarasvatī mahyaṃ tvā madhyaṃ bhūmyā ubhāv antau sam asyatām

English · William Dwight Whitney

Unto me let Mitra-and-Varuṇa, unto me divine Sarasvatī, unto me let the middle of the earth, let both [its] ends fling (sam-as) thee.
