Atharva Veda 1.29.4: Kanda 1, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 29, Mantra 4
Sukta 29
अ॒भी॒व॒र्तो अ॑भिभ॒वः स॑पत्न॒क्षय॑णो म॒णिः । रा॒ष्ट्राय॒ मह्यं॑ बध्यतां स॒पत्ने॑भ्यः परा॒भुवे॑
abhīváṛto abhíbhavaḥ sapatná-kṣáyaṇo maṇíḥ | rāṣṭrā́ya máhyaṃ badhyatāṃ sapatnébhyaḥ parābhúve ||
A charm that turns (all) toward me, a charm of mastery, a jewel that wastes the rival—let it be bound on me for the realm, for the utter overthrow of my adversaries.
यह मणि सब कुछ मेरी तरफ मोड़ देती है, मुझे मुखिया बनाती है, दुश्मनों को खत्म करती है। इस्से मेरे लिए बाँध दो, मेरे राज के लिए, दुश्मनों को पूरा हराने के लिए।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Āṅgiras lineages for maṇi-sūktas; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī).
Devata: Maṇi (the amulet as empowered agent); implicitly Indra-like victory power directed toward rāṣṭra.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (4 pādas of 8 syllables; typical AV charm-meter).
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
