Atharva Veda 20.59.4: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 6, Sukta 59, Mantra 4
Sukta 59
मन्त्र॒मख॑र्वं॒ सुधि॑तं सु॒पेश॑सं॒ दधा॑त य॒ज्ञिये॒ष्वा। पू॒र्वीश्च॒न प्रसि॑तयस्तरन्ति तं य इन्द्रे॒ कर्म॑णा॒ भुव॑त्
mántram ákharvaṃ súdhitaṃ supéśasaṃ dádhāta yajñiyéṣv ā́ | pū́rvīś ca ná prásitayas taranti táṃ ya índre kármaṇā bhúvat ||
A spell unshattered, well-established, of fair fashion, he setteth within the sacrificial acts. Even the former impulsions overpass (all hindrance) for him who, by deed, hath his being in Indra.
यह मंत्र कभी टूटा नहीं। यह बिल्कुल सही है और अच्छा बना है। इसको यज्ञ के काम में लगाते हैं। जो लोग इंद्र के साथ रहते हैं, उनके सारे पुराने काम सफल हो जाते हैं। कोई प्रॉब्लम भी उनके रास्ते में नहीं आती।
