Atharvaveda 19.54

⌊Comm's 2 a, b, c.⌋ By time the wind cleanses (pavate); by time the earth [is] great; the great sky in time [is] set.

⌊Comm's 2 d, e.⌋ Time, [their] son, generated of old what is and what is to be. ⌊Comm's 3 a, b.⌋ From time the verses (ṛ́c) came into being; the sacrificial formula (yájus) was born from time;—

⌊Comm's 3 c, d.⌋ Time set in motion (sam-īr) the sacrifice, an unexhausted portion for the gods. ⌊Comm's 4 a, b.⌋ In time are set firm the Gandharvas-and-Apsarases; in time the worlds;—
⌊5 and 6 of Berlin ed. = 5 of Bombay ed.⌋ ⌊Comm's 4 c, d.⌋ Upon time stand this heavenly An̄giras and Atharvan. ⌊Comm's 5 a, b.⌋ Both this world and the highest world, and the pure (púṇya) worlds and the pure separations—⌊6 of Berlin ed.: Comm's 5 c, d.⌋ all worlds by the bráhman having conquered, this time goes on as highest god.
