English · William Dwight Whitney

What portion (bhāgadhéya) the gods made for thee, O Amāvāsyā, dwelling together with might, therewith fill our offering, O thou of all choice things; assign to us, O fortunate one, wealth rich in heroes.

English · William Dwight Whitney

I myself am Amāvāsyā; on me, in me dwell these well-doers; in me came together all, of both classes, the gods and the sādhyás, with Indra as chief (jyéṣṭa).

English · William Dwight Whitney

The night hath come, assembler of good things, causing sustenance, prosperity, [and] good to enter in; we would worship Amāvāsyā with oblation; yielding (duh) sustenance with milk is she come to us.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

O Amāvāsyā, no other than thou, encompassing, gave birth to all these forms; what desiring we make libation to thee, be that ours; may we be lords of wealth.
