Atharva Veda 19.29.8: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 29, Mantra 8
Sukta 29
दह॑ दर्भ स॒पत्ना॑न् मे॒ दह॑ मे पृतनाय॒तः । दह॑ मे॒ सर्वा॑न् दु॒र्हार्दो॒ दह॑ मे द्विष॒तो म॑णे
dáha darbha sapatnān me dáha me pṛtanāyatáḥ | dáha me sárvān durhā́rdaḥ dáha me dviṣatá maṇe ||
Burn, O Darbha, mine adversaries; burn for me the battle-rushers. Burn for me all the evil-hearted; burn for me the haters, O Amulet.
दर्भ, मेरे दुश्मनों को जला दे। जो लड़ने आते हैं उनको भी जला दे। सारे बड़े दिल वाले लोगों को जला दे। मेरे दुश्मनों को जला दे, हे मणि।
