Atharva Veda 5.6.10: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 6, Mantra 10
Sukta 6
यो॒३ऽस्मांश्चक्षु॑षा॒ मन॑सा॒ चित्त्याकू॑त्या च॒ यो अ॑घा॒युर॑भि॒दासा॑त्। त्वं तान॑ग्ने मे॒न्यामे॒नीन् कृ॑णु॒ स्वाहा॑
yó ’smāṃś cákṣuṣā mánasā cíttyā ākū́tyā ca yó aghāyúr abhidā́sāt | tváṃ tā́n agne menyā́ amení̄n kṛṇu svā́hā
Whoso with eye, with mind, with thought and purpose would assail us, evil-minded—do thou, O Agni, make those wrathful ones to be without wrath. Svāhā!
जो आँख से, मन से, सोच से हमारे पीछे पड़ता है, बुरी नीयत से हमारे पीछे पड़ता है। अग्नि, तुम उन गुस्से वाले लोगों का गुस्सा खत्म कर दो। स्वाहा।
