Atharva Veda 4.12.10: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 12, Mantra 10

Sukta 12

सं ते॑ म॒ज्जा म॒ज्ज्ञा भ॑वतु॒ समु॑ ते॒ परु॑षा॒ परुः॑ । सं ते॑ मां॒सस्य॒ विस्र॑स्तं॒ समस्थ्यपि॑ रोहतु

sáṃ te majjā majjñā bhavatu sámu te páruṣā páruḥ | sáṃ te māṃsásya vísrastaṃ sám asthí ápi rohatu ||

Marrow with marrow be united for thee; joint with joint be wholly joined for thee. Let the loosened flesh be knit together for thee; let bone moreover grow fast thereon.

ليتّحد لك النخاع بالنخاع، ولتلتئم لك المفاصل مفصلًا بمفصل. ولْيُحْكَم وصلُ اللحمِ المنفلت لك، ولْيَنْبُتِ العظمُ أيضًا ويلتصق عليه بإحكام.
