3.13.3

apakāmáṃ syándamānā ávīvarata vo hí kam |
índro vaḥ śáktibhir devīs tásmād vā́r nā́ma vo hitám ||3||

As ye were flowing perversely (apakāmám), since Indra verily hindered (var) you by his powers, you, ye divine ones, therefore the name water (vā́r) is assigned you.

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