tŕ̥ṇair ā́vr̥tā paladā́n vásānā rā́trīva śā́lā jágato nivéśanī |
mitā́ pr̥thivyā́ṃ tiṣṭhasi hastínīva padvátī ||17||

Wrapped (ā-vṛ) with grass, clothing itself in paladás, the dwelling, place of rest (nivéçanī) of living creatures, like the night—built on the earth thou standest, like a she-elephant, having feet.

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