Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book XIX/Hymn 70

From Wikisource

70. For long life.

[Brahman.—ekarcam. sāuryam. 3-p. gāyatrī.]

⌊Prose.⌋ Not found in Pāipp. ⌊See note to 69. 4.⌋

Translated: Griffith, ii. 320.


1. Live, O Indra; live, O Sūrya; live ye, O gods; may I live; may I live my whole life-time.

The mss. reads jī́vās after dévās, and SPP. retains it, false accent and all. The comm. explains it by adding a bhavata.
