Atharva Veda 7.12

English · William Dwight Whitney

Let both assembly (sabhā́) and gathering (sámiti), the two daughters of Prajāpati, accordant, favor me; with whom I shall come together, may he desire to aid (? upa-çikṣ) me; may I speak what is pleasant among those who have come together, O Fathers.

English · William Dwight Whitney

We know thy name, O assembly; verily sport (naríṣṭā) by name art thou; whoever are thine assembly-sitters, let them be of like speech with me.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Of these that sit together I take to myself the splendor, the discernment (vijñā́na); of this whole gathering (saṁsád) make me, O Indra, possessor of the fortune (bhagín).

English · William Dwight Whitney

Your mind that is gone away, that is bound either here or here—that of you we cause to turn hither; in me let your mind rest.
