Atharva Veda 19.11.2: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 11, Mantra 2
Sukta 11
शं नो॑ दे॒वा वि॒श्वदे॑वा भवन्तु॒ शं सर॑स्वती स॒ह धी॒भिर॑स्तु । शम॑भि॒षाचः॒ शमु॑ राति॒षाचः॒ शं नो॑ दि॒व्याः पार्थि॑वाः॒ शं नो॒ अप्याः॑
śáṃ no devā́ viśvádevā bhavantu | śáṃ sárasvatī sahá dhī́bhir astu || śám abhíṣācaḥ śám u rātiṣā́caḥ | śáṃ no divyā́ḥ pārthivā́ḥ śáṃ no apyā́ḥ ||
Weal unto us—may the gods, the All-Gods, be gracious; weal—may Sarasvatī, together with inspired thoughts, be gracious. Weal (be) from the bewitchers, weal, yea, from the bounty-spoilers; weal unto us from the heavenly, the earthly; weal unto us from the watery (powers).
सब देवता मिलके अच्छे हों। सरस्वती माता हमारे साथ हो, हमारे दिमाग में अच्छे विचार आते रहें। बुरी नज़र से, बुरी ताकत से, सब से अच्छा हो। आसमान की ताकतें अच्छी हों, ज़मीन की ताकतें अच्छी हों, पानी की ताकतें भी अच्छी हों।
