Sukta 9

इ॒यं या प॑रमे॒ष्ठिनी॒ वाग् दे॒वी ब्रह्म॑संशिता । ययै॒व स॑सृ॒जे घो॒रं तयै॒व शान्ति॑रस्तु नः

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 19.9.3

iyáṃ yā parameṣṭhínī vā́g devī́ bráhma-saṃśitā | yayáivá sasṛjé ghóram táyaivá śā́ntir astu naḥ

This—she who is supreme—Speech, the Goddess compacted with brahman: by her indeed the dreadful was sent forth; by that same power let peace be ours.

यह सबसे बड़ी वाणी है, देवी है, ब्रह्मा से जुड़ी हुई है। इसी से डरानाक चीज़ें बनी हैं। इसी शक्ति से हमारे लिए शांति हो।
