Atharva Veda 7.20

1
English · William Dwight Whitney

Let Anumati ('approval') approve ⌊anu-man⌋ today our sacrifice among the gods; and let Agni be oblation-carrier of me worshiping.

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

Mayest thou, indeed, O Anumati, approve, and do thou make weal for us; enjoy thou the offered oblation; grant us progeny, O goddess.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

Let him, approving, approve wealth rich in progeny, not being exhausted; let us not come to be within his wrath; may we be in his very gracious favor.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

The easily-invoked, approved, generous (sudā́nu) name that is thine, O well-conducting Anumati—therewith fill our sacrifice, O thou of all choice things; assign us, O fortunate one, wealth rich in heroes.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

Anumati hath come unto this well-born offering, in order to [our] abounding in fields and in heroes; for her forethought (prámati) hath been excellent; let her, god-shepherded, aid this offering.

6
English · William Dwight Whitney

Anumati hath become all this—what stands, moves, and all that stirs; may we be in the favor ⌊sumatí⌋ of thee as such, O goddess; O Anumati, for mayest thou approve us.
