Atharva Veda 1.11
A charm to be used at child-birth
GriffithEnglish
Vashat to thee. O Pūshan At this birth let Aryaman the Sage perform as Hotar-priest, As one who bears in season let this dame be ready to bring forth her child.
Four are the regions of the sky, and four the regions of the earth: The Gods have brought the babe; let them prepare the woman for the birth.
Puerpera (infatem) detegat: nos uterum aperimus. Lexa teipsam, puerpera. Tu, parturiens! emitte eum non carni, non adipi, non medullae adhāerntem.
