Sukta 6
यो३ऽस्मांश्चक्षुषा मनसा चित्त्याकूत्या च यो अघायुरभिदासात्। त्वं तानग्ने मेन्यामेनीन् कृणु स्वाहा
yó ’smāṃś cákṣuṣā mánasā cíttyā ākū́tyā ca yó aghāyúr abhidā́sāt | tváṃ tā́n agne menyā́ amení̄n kṛṇu svā́hā
Whoso with eye, with mind, with thought and purpose would assail us, evil-minded—do thou, O Agni, make those wrathful ones to be without wrath. Svāhā!
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn-level attribution per anukramaṇī)
Devata: Agni (as rakṣas-repeller and purifier); secondarily Menī as the targeted force
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (with extended pāda due to enumerations)
