Atharva Veda 20.74.6: Kanda 20, Anuvaka 8, Sukta 74, Mantra 6
Sukta 74
पता॑ति कुण्डृ॒णाच्या॑ दू॒रं वातो॒ वना॒दधि॑ । आ तू न॑ इन्द्र शंसय॒ गोष्वश्वे॑षु शु॒भ्रिषु॑ स॒हस्रे॑षु तुवीमघ
pátati kuṇḍṛṇā́cyā dūráṃ vā́to vánād ádhi | ā́ tū́ na indra śaṃsaya góṣv áśveṣu śubhriṣú sahásreṣu tuvīmagha
Far off it flies from Kundṛṇācī: the Wind drives it away from out the forest. Do thou, O Indra, make us famed for wealth—among kine, among horses, among the splendid thousands, O bounteous one.
वो बुरी चीज़ कुंड्र्नाची से दूर उड़ गई। हवा ने उसे जंगल से भगा दिया। हे इंद्र, हमें ऐसा कर दे कि लोग हमारे बारे में कहें। हमारे पास गायें हों, घोड़े हों, और बहुत दौलत हों। तू ही दे सकता है यह सब।
