Atharva Veda 11.6.14: Kanda 11, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 6, Mantra 14

Sukta 6

य॒ज्ञं ब्रू॑मो॒ यज॑मान॒मृचः॒ सामा॑नि भेष॒जा। यजूं॑षि॒ होत्रा॑ ब्रूम॒स्ते नो॑ मुञ्च॒न्त्वंह॑सः

yajñáṃ brū́mo yájamānam ṛ́caḥ sāmā́ni bheṣajā́ | yájūṃṣi hótrā brū́mas té no muñcántv áṃhasaḥ ||

We name the Sacrifice; we name the Sacrificer; the Ṛcs, the Sāmans as medicines; the Yajus-formulas, the Hotṛ’s office we name: let these for us unloose from anguish and from sin.

हम यज्ञ का नाम लेते हैं, यज्ञ करने वाले का नाम लेते हैं। ऋचा और साम, यह सब दवाई की तरह काम करते हैं। यजु मंत्र और पंडित की पूजा, यह सब हमें दुख और पाप से आज़ाद करें।
