Atharva Veda 3.31.5: Kanda 3, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 31, Mantra 5
Sukta 31
त्वष्टा॑ दुहि॒त्रे व॑ह॒तुं यु॑न॒क्तीती॒दं विश्वं॒ भुव॑नं॒ वि या॑ति । व्य॑१हं सर्वे॑ण पा॒प्मना॒ वि यक्ष्मे॑ण॒ समायु॑षा
tváṣṭā duhitré vahatúṃ yunaktī́tī́daṃ víśvaṃ bhúvanaṃ ví yā́ti | vy àháṃ sárveṇa pā́pmánā ví yákṣmeṇa sám ā́yuṣā
Tvaṣṭṛ yokes for his daughter the bridal train: thus this whole world of beings moves forth apart. So may I be parted from all evil taint, parted from yákṣma, and joined with full length of life.
त्वष्ठा अपनी बेटी की शादी के लिए गाड़ी तैयार करता है। सारी दुनिया भी उसके साथ चल पड़ी। मैं भी ऐसे ही सारी बुराई से दूर हो जाऊँ। बीमारी से अलग हो जाऊँ और लंबी उम्र पा जाऊँ।

Devata: Tvaṣṭṛ (ordering power) and Āyus; yákṣma as the adversary
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like with extended first pāda (Atharvanic refrain structure)
