The Atharvaveda
XII 1 Hymn to goddess Earth Part 5
The perfume, O Earth, that has arisen upon thee,
which the plants and the waters hold,
which the Gandharvas and the Apsaras have partaken of,
with that make me fragrant:
not any one shall hate us.
That perfume of Thine which has entered into the lotus,
That fragrance, O earth, which the immortals of yore
gathered up at the marriage of Surya,
with that make me fragrant:
not any one shall hate us.
That perfume of thine which is in men,
the loveliness and charm that is in male and female,
that which is in steeds and heroes,
that which is in the wild animals with trunks,
the lustre that is in the maiden,
O Earth, with that do thou blend us:
not any one shall hate us
