Atharva Veda 19.44.6: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 5, Sukta 44, Mantra 6
Sukta 44
देवा॑ञ्जन॒ त्रैक॑कुदं॒ परि॑ मा पाहि वि॒श्वतः॑ । न त्वा॑ तर॒न्त्योष॑धयो॒ बाह्याः॑ पर्व॒तीया॑ उ॒त
devā́ñjana tráikakudaṃ pári mā pāhi viśvátas | ná tvā taranty óṣadhayo bā́hyāḥ parvatī́yā utá
O divine unguent, O Traikakuda, guard me round about from every side. No other herbs surpass thee—no outward, no mountain-born remedies either.
हे भगवान की दवा, त्रैककुड़ नाम वाली, मुझे चारों तरफ से बचा। कोई भी जड़ी-बूटी तुझस आगे नहीं जा सकती। न यहाँ की, न पहाड़ वाली, कोई नहीं।
