Atharva Veda 3.31.6: Kanda 3, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 31, Mantra 6
Sukta 31
अ॒ग्निः प्रा॒णान्त्सं द॑धाति च॒न्द्रः प्रा॒णेन॒ संहि॑तः । व्य॑१हं सर्वे॑ण पा॒प्मना॒ वि यक्ष्मे॑ण॒ समायु॑षा
agníḥ prāṇā́n sám dadhāti candráḥ prāṇéna sáṃhitaḥ | vy àháṃ sárveṇa pā́pmánā ví yákṣmeṇa sám ā́yuṣā
Agni composes the breaths together; the Moon is knit with breath. So may I be parted from all evil taint, parted from yákṣma, and joined with full length of life.
अग्नि साँस को साथ में जोड़ देता है। चाँद भी साँस के साथ जुड़ा है। मैं भी ऐसे ही सारी बुराई से दूर हो जाऊँ। बीमारी से अलग हो जाऊँ और लंबी उम्र पा जाऊँ।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (healing corpus attribution)
Devata: Agni and Candra (Moon); prāṇa/āyus as operative powers; yákṣma as adversary
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like (with refrain)
Primary: shanta
