Sukta 57
अनास्माकस्तद् देवपीयुः पियारुर्निष्कमिव प्रति मुञ्चताम्। नवारत्नीनपमया अस्माकं ततः परि । दुष्वप्न्यं सर्वं द्विषते निर्दयामसि
anāsmā́kas tád devapī́yuḥ piyā́rur níṣkam iva práti muñcatām | návāratnīn apámayā asmā́kaṃ tátas pári | duṣvápmyaṃ sárvaṃ dvíṣate nírdayāmasi
Not ours be that: let the god-drinking Piyāru release it back, as one unfastens a niṣka-amulet. With the nine-knotted (cord) remove it away from us, wholly from our sphere. All ill-dream evil do we cast forth unto the hater.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (late book attribution; consult anukramaṇī).
Devata: Piyāru (protective agent) and Duṣvapnya (expelled entity).
Chandas: Late Atharvanic, irregular.
