By thee do we prevail in the contests, looking forward to many things to be fought [for]; I stir up thy weapons with spells (''vácas''); I sharpen up thy powers (''váyas'') with incantation (''bráhman'').
William Dwight Whitney (revised and edited by Charles Rockwell Lanman)
RigvedaRV 10.120.5

tvayā̍ va̱yaṁ śā̍śadmahe̱ raṇe̍ṣu pra̱paśya̍nto yu̱dhenyā̍ni̱ bhūri̍ | co̱dayā̍mi ta̱ āyu̍dhā̱ vaco̍bhi̱ḥ saṁ te̍ śiśāmi̱ brahma̍ṇā̱ vayā̍ṁsi ||

Proudly we put our trust in thee in battles, when we behold great wealth the prize of combat. I with my words impel thy weapons onward, and sharpen with my prayer thy vital vigour.

The surface that matched

Both passages fold to the same comparison surface. Accents, word breaks and sandhi are removed before comparison, so this string is not how either text reads.

What a match here does and does not show

These links are derived by comparing normalised Sanskrit surfaces. They show that two collections carry the same wording. They are not, by themselves, a demonstrated line of transmission between them, and the direction stored on an edge is a property of how it was built.

Atharvaveda is one of four collections held here. Cross-corpus comparison bottoms out at the weakest shared surface, because a Devanagari text and a romanised text share no code points.

How these were derived1

  • Parallelism is symmetric and this graph stores it as a directed edge, so these relations are traversed in both directions and each row states which way the stored edge ran. All 1,684 REUSES_TEXT_FROM edges point Samaveda-to-Rigveda, and 1,421 Rigvedic passages have reuse edges only inbound; following the arrow would show those 1,421 verses no reuse at all.
