9.1.24

yád vīdhré stanáyati prajā́patir evá tát prajā́bhyaḥ prādúr bhavati |
tásmāt prācīnopavītás tiṣṭhe prájāpaté 'nu mā budhyasvéti |
ánv enaṃ prajā́ ánu prajā́patir budhyate yá eváṃ véda ||24||

When it thunders in a clear sky, that is Prajāpati himself becoming manifest to his creatures; therefore I stand with the sacred cord over the right shoulder, saying: O Prajāpati, take notice (anu-budh) of me: creatures [take notice], Prajāpati takes notice of him who knows thus.

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