Atharva Veda 19.17.10: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 17, Mantra 10
Sukta 17
बृह॒स्पति॑र्मा॒ विश्वै॑र्दे॒वैरू॒र्ध्वाया॑ दि॒शः पा॑तु॒ तस्मि॑न् क्रमे॒ तस्मिं॑छ्रये॒ तां पुरं॒ प्रैमि॑ । स मा॑ रक्षतु॒ स मा॑ गोपायतु॒ तस्मा॑ आ॒त्मानं॒ परि॑ ददे॒ स्वाहा॑
bṛ́haspáti̍r mā víśvair deváir ūrdhvā́yā diśáḥ pā́tu tásmin kráme tásmiñ chraye táṃ púraṃ práimi | sá mā rakṣatu sá mā gopāyatu tásmā ātmā́naṃ pári dade svā́hā
May Bṛhaspati, with all the Gods, from the upward quarter, protect me. In that I take my step; in that I take refuge; into that fortress I go forth. May he guard me; may he watch over me: unto him I wholly commit my very self—svāhā.
बृहस्पति और सारे देवता मुझे ऊपर दिशा से बचाएं। मैं उस किले की तरफ जा रहा हूँ, वही मेरा सहारा है। वो मुझे रखें, मुझे देखते रहें। मैं खुद को उनके हवाले कर देता हूँ, स्वाहा।
