Atharva Veda 1.3.6: Kanda 1, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 6
Sukta 3
यदा॒न्त्रेषु॑ गवी॒न्योर्यद्व॒स्तावधि॒ संश्रु॑तम् । ए॒वा ते॒ मूत्रं॑ मुच्यतां ब॒हिर्बालिति॑ सर्व॒कम्
yadā́ ntréṣu gavī́nyor yád vastā́v ádhi saṃśrútaṃ | evā́ te mū́traṃ mucyatāṃ bahír bál iti sárvakam ||
When in the bowels, in the two conduits, and when in the bladder there is that which hath settled and compacted—so, for thee, let the urine be loosed: forth with it, with the cry ‘bal!’—wholly.
जब पेट में, दो नलियों में, या ब्लैडर में कुछ अटक जाता है, जो अंदर जम गया हो, तो उसको बाहर निकालने की दुआ है। 'बल' के साथ चिल्लाके तुम्हारा मूत्र साफ़ हो जाये। सब कुछ बाहर आ जाये।
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (ascribed at the hymn level in many Anukramaṇī traditions; specific r̥ṣi attribution may vary by school lists).
Devata: Therapeutic efficacy of the mantra itself (mantra-śakti); implicitly the bodily ‘flow’ (mūtra) as a functional devatā.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; standard for many short healing verses in AV 1)
Primary: vira
Secondary: shanta
