Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1With forelock loosened o'er his brow here comes the wooer of
the bride, p. a228
Seeking a husband for this maid, a wife for this unmarried man.
2Wooer! this girl hath toiled in vain, going to others' marriages.
Now to her wedding, verily, wooer! another maid shall come.
3Dhātar upholds the spacious earth, upholds the sky, upholds the
Sun.
Dhātar bestow upon this maid a husband suited to her wish!
