10.7.38

mahád yakṣáṃ bhúvanasya mádhye tápasi krāntáṃ salilásya pr̥ṣṭhé |
tásmin chrayante yá u ké ca devā́ vr̥kṣásya skándhaḥ paríta iva śā́khāḥ ||38||

A great monster (yakṣá) in the midst of the creation (bhúvana), strode (? krāntá) in penance on the back of the sea—in it are set (çri) whatever gods there are, like the branches of a tree roundabout the trunk.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
