Atharva Veda 4.36.10: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 36, Mantra 10
Sukta 36
अ॒भि तं निरृ॑तिर्धत्ता॒मश्व॑मिवाश्वाभि॒धान्या॑ । म॒ल्वो यो मह्यं॒ क्रुध्य॑ति॒ स उ॒ पाशा॒न्नमु॑च्यते
abhí táṃ nírr̥tiḥ dhattām áśvam ivāśvābhidhā́nyā | malvó yó máhyaṃ krúdhyati sá u pāśā́n ná mucyate ||
Let Nirṛti set upon him, as horse-halter on a horse: the Malva who is wroth with me—verily he is not loosed from the noose.
जो मुझसे बैर करता है, उसको बुरी ताकत पकड़ ले। जैसे घोड़े को रस्सा पकड़ लेता है, वैसे ही वो फँस जाए। वो रस्सा उसको छोड़ नहीं। जो मुझसे लड़ता है, वो छुटकारा नहीं पाता।
