Atharva Veda 3.11.1: Kanda 3, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 11, Mantra 1
Sukta 11
दीर्घायुः प्राप्तिः। मु॒ञ्चामि॑ त्वा ह॒विषा॒ जीव॑नाय॒ कम॑ज्ञातय॒क्ष्मादु॒त रा॑जय॒क्ष्मात्। ग्राहि॑र्ज॒ग्राह॒ यद्ये॒तदे॑नं॒ तस्या॑ इन्द्राग्नी॒ प्र मु॑मुक्तमेनम्
dīrghāyúḥ prā́ptiḥ | muñcā́mi tvā havíṣā jī́vanāya kám ajñātayakṣmā́d uta rājayakṣmā́t | grāhíḥ jagrā́ha yády etád enaṃ tásyā indrāgnī prá mumuktam enam ||
Attainment of long life. With oblation I loose thee forth for life, from unknown wasting and from royal wasting. If the Seizer have seized him with this, then from that grasp, O Indra and Agni, do ye wholly release him.
यह मंत्र लंबी उम्र के लिए है। मैं तुम्हे पूजा के साथ जीवन के लिए आज़ाद करता हूँ। किसी भी बीमारी से, छे जाने वाली बीमारी से। अगर कोई बीमारी पकड़ ले, तो इंद्र और अग्नि तुम्हे उससे छुड़ा देंगे।
