Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1In the third heaven above us stands the Asvattha tree, the seat
of Gods.
There the Gods gained the Kushtha plant, embodiment of end-
less life.
2There moved through heaven a golden ship, a ship with cordage
wrought of gold.
There Gods obtained the Kushtha plant, the flower of immor-
tality.
3Thou art the infant of the plants, the infant of the Snowy Hills:
The germ of every thing that is: free this my friend from his
disease.
