Mantra 5
Sukta 27
घृतेन त्वा समुक्षाम्यग्न आज्येन वर्धयन्। अग्नेश्चन्द्रस्य सूर्यस्य मा प्राणं मायिनो दभन्
ghṛténa tvā samukṣā́my ágne ā́jyena vardháyan | agnéś candrásya sū́ryasya mā́ prāṇáṃ māyíno dabhan ||
With ghee I thoroughly anoint thee, O Agni, strengthening thee with oblation-butter. Let not the sorcerers assail thy vital breath—under Agni, under Moon, under Sun.
घृत से मैं तुझे भली-भाँति अभिषिक्त करता हूँ, हे अग्नि; आज्य-आहुति से तुझे बढ़ाता हूँ। अग्नि के अधीन, चन्द्र के अधीन, सूर्य के अधीन—मायावी (जादूगर) तेरे प्राण को न छलें, न आघात करें।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Agni (primary), with Candra and Sūrya as co-guardians; anti-māyā protection
