Atharva Veda 19.43.7: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 5, Sukta 43, Mantra 7
Sukta 43
यत्र॑ ब्रह्म॒विदो॒ यान्ति॑ दी॒क्षया॒ तप॑सा स॒ह। आपो॑ मा॒ तत्र॑ नयत्व॒मृतं॒ मोप॑ तिष्ठतु । अ॒द्भ्यः स्वाहा॑
yátra brahmavído yā́nti dīkṣáyā tápasā sahá | ā́po mā́ tátra nayatv amṛ́taṃ mópa tiṣṭhatu | adbhyáḥ svā́hā
Whither the knowers of sacred Brahman go, with consecration and with fervid austerity,—thither let the Waters lead me; let not Immortality stand over against me (as a foe). To the Waters—svāhā.
जहाँ ब्रह्मविद लोग दीक्षा ले के तप के साथ जाते हैं, वहाँ पानी मुझे ले जाए। अमृत मुझसे दुश्मन न बनके मेरे साथ रहे। पानी को स्वाहा।
