Sukta 5
अन्तर्दधे द्यावापृथिवी उताहरुत सूर्यम्। ते मे देवाः पुरोहिताः प्रतीचीः कृत्याः प्रतिसरैरजन्तु
antár dadhe dyāvāpṛthivī́ utā́haḥ utá sū́ryam | té me devā́ḥ puróhitāḥ pratī́cīḥ kṛtyā́ḥ pratisaráir ajantu
He set within as a covering Heaven and Earth, and Day, and the Sun. Let those Gods, set before me as my fore-priests, with counter-charms drive back the witchcrafts turned in return.
उसने आच्छादन के रूप में भीतर द्यावा-पृथिवी, और दिन, और सूर्य को स्थापित किया। वे देव मेरे पुरोहित बनकर, प्रतिसरों (प्रतिचर्मों) से, प्रत्यावर्तित कृत्याओं (टोना-प्रयोगों) को उलटा कर के वापस हाँक दें।
Rishi: Atharvanic transmission
Devata: Cosmic powers (Dyāvāpṛthivī, Ahaḥ, Sūrya) plus the protective coalition implied by the refrain
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like (AV mixed)
