Atharva Veda 19.57.5: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 6, Sukta 57, Mantra 5
Sukta 57
अ॒ना॒स्मा॒कस्तद् दे॑वपी॒युः पिया॑रुर्नि॒ष्कमि॑व॒ प्रति॑ मुञ्चताम्। नवा॑र॒त्नीनप॑मया अ॒स्माकं॒ ततः॒ परि॑ । दु॒ष्वप्न्यं॒ सर्वं॑ द्विष॒ते निर्द॑यामसि
anāsmā́kas tád devapī́yuḥ piyā́rur níṣkam iva práti muñcatām | návāratnīn apámayā asmā́kaṃ tátas pári | duṣvápmyaṃ sárvaṃ dvíṣate nírdayāmasi
Not ours be that: let the god-drinking Piyāru release it back, as one unfastens a niṣka-amulet. With the nine-knotted (cord) remove it away from us, wholly from our sphere. All ill-dream evil do we cast forth unto the hater.
यह बुरा सपना हमारा नहीं होना चाहिए। पियारु देवता इसको वापस छोड़ दे, जैसे कोई हार उतार देते हैं। नौ गाँठ वाली डोरी से इसको हमसे दूर कर दो, पूरा हमारे आस-पास से। सारी बुरी बात दुश्मन के ऊपर डाल देते हैं।
