Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com


HYMN XL

1Mayest thou verily be seen coming by fearless Indra's side:
  Both joyous: equal in your sheen.
2With Indra's well-beloved hosts, the blameless, hastening to
   heaven,
  The sacrificer cries aloud.
3Thereafter they, as is their wont, threw off the state of babes
   unborn,
  Assuming sacrificial name.
