vi. 94- BOOK VI. THE ATHARVA-VEDA-SAKIHITA. 35°
94. For harmony.
[^AtharvSngiras. — sdrasvatyam. Snustubham. z. virddjagatt."]
The first verse (= iii. 8. 5
; the four preceding verses of iii. 8 occurred elsewhere) is
found in Paipp. xix. The comm. regards it as intended by Kauq. 12. 5, in a rite for
harmony, as, in almost identical terms, he had above (under iii. 8) declared iii. 8. 5, 6 to
be intended.
Translated: Ludwig, p. 514; Griffith, i. 296; Bloomfield, 138, 508.
1. We bend together your minds, together your courses, together
your designs ;
ye yonder who are of discordant courses, we make you
bend [them] together here.
Ppp. in d apparently sam jhapayamasi.
2. I seize [your] minds with [my] mind; come after my intent with
[your] intents ; I put your hearts in my control ; come with [your] tracks
following my motion.
These two verses are a repetition of iii. 8. 5, 6. In our text, -rete at the end of b is

a misprint for reta.
3. Worked in for me [are] heaven-and-earth ; worked in [is] divine
Sarasvati; worked in for me [are] both Indra and Agni ; may we be
successful here, O Sarasvati.
Save the last pada, this verse is a repetition of v. 23. I. The comm. paraphrases
ota by abhitntikhyena samtata ox parasparath sambaddha.
95. For relief from disease : with kiistha.
\^Bhrgvahgiras.—vdnaspatyam ; mantroktadevatyam. dnustubham.'\
The hymn is not found in Paipp. As in the case of the preceding hymn, the first
two verses have already occurred in the AV. text: namely, as v. 4. 3, 4. The comm.
regards this hymn as included in the kusthalingds of Kaug. 28. 13 and vs. ;

V. 25. 7) as intended in Vait. 28. 20, in the agnicayana.
Translated: Griffith, i. 297.

The agvatthd, seat of the gods, in the third heaven from here
there the gods won the kiistha, the sight of immortality.
2. A golden ship, of golden tackle, moved about in the sky ; there the
gods won the kustha, the flower of immortality.
SPP. reads in zpuspam, with, as he claims, all his authorities save one ; as the verse
is repeated from a book to which the comm. has not been found, we do not know how
he read. |_See W's note to v. 4. 4. But a note in his copy of the printed text here
seems to prefer puspam.\
3. Thou art the young [gdrbha) of herbs; the young also of the
snowy [mountains], the young of all existence ; make thou this man free
from disease for me.
