Sukta 6
यं द्वि॒ष्मो यश्च॑ नो॒ द्वेष्टि॒ तस्मा॑ एनद् गमयामः
yáṃ dviṣmáḥ yáś ca no dvéṣṭi tásmai enád gamayāmaḥ |
Whom we do hate, and whoso hateth us—unto that man we cause this (evil) to go.
जिससे हम नफ़रत करते हैं, और जो हमसे नफ़रत करता है, उस आदमी के पास यह बुराई भेजनी है। वो अपनी बुराई खुद उठाए।
