< Atharva-Veda Samhita < Book XIX
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.
