12.1.22

bhū́myāṃ devébhyo dadati yajñáṃ havyám áraṃkr̥tam |
bhū́myāṃ manuṣyā̀ jīvanti svadháyā́nnena mártyāḥ |
sā́ no bhū́miḥ prāṇám ā́yur dadhātu jarádaṣṭiṃ mā pr̥thivī́ kr̥ṇotu ||22||

On the earth (bhū́mi) they give to the gods the sacrifice, the oblation, duly prepared; on the earth (bhū́mi) mortal men (manuṣyà) live by svadhā́, by food; let that earth (bhū́mi) assign us breath, life-time; let earth make me one who attains old age.

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