Atharvaveda 4.26

I reverence you, O heaven-and-earth, ye well-nourishing ones (subhójas), who, like-minded (sácetas) did spread out unmeasured intervals (yójana); since ye became foundations (pratiṣṭhā́) of good things, do ye free us from distress.

Since ye became foundations of good things, ye much increased, divine, fortunate, wide-extended ones, O heaven-and-earth, be pleasant to me: do ye free us from distress.

I call upon the not-distressing, of excellent penance, wide, profound, to be reverenced by poets: O heaven- etc. etc.

Ye who bear the immortal (amṛ́ta), who the oblations; who bear the streams (srotyā́), who human beings (manuṣyà): O heaven- etc. etc.

Ye who bear the ruddy [kine], who the forest-trees; ye within whom [are] all beings: O heaven- etc. etc.

Ye who gratify with sweet drink (kīlā́la), who with ghee; without whom [men] can [do] nothing whatever: O heaven- etc. etc.

This that scorches (abhi-çuc) me, or by whomsoever done, from what is human, not divine—I praise heaven-and-earth, [as] a suppliant I call loudly on [them]: do ye free us from distress.
