Let thy hills (girí) [and] snowy mountains (párvata), let thy forest-land (áraṇya), O earth, be pleasant (syoná); upon the brown, black, red, all-formed, fixed (dhruvá) earth (bhū́mi), the earth guarded by Indra—I, unharassed, unsmitten, unwounded, have stood upon the earth.

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