Atharva Veda 6.10: A thanksgiving for life, hearing, and sight
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
All hail for hearing to the Earth, to Trees, to Agni, sovran Lord!
All hail for breath to Air, for power to life to Vāyu, sovran Lord!
All hail for vision to the Stars, to Heaven, to Sūrya, sovran Lord!
