Atharva Veda 5.6.5: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 6, Mantra 5
Sukta 6
न्वे॒३तेना॑रात्सीरसौ॑ स्वाहा॑ । ति॒ग्मायु॑धौ ति॒ग्महे॑ती सु॒शेवौ॒ सोमा॑रुद्रावि॒ह सु मृ॑डतं नः
nú eténārātsīrasau svā́hā | tiǵmāyudhāu tiǵmahetī suśévāu sómarudrāv ihá sú mṛḍataṃ naḥ
Now, with this—O Arātsīrasau—svāhā! Sharp-weaponed, sharp-missiled, yet kindly, O Soma and Rudra, here be ye gracious unto us; grant us good relief.
अब इस मंत्र के साथ अरत्सिरसौ को पुकारो, स्वाहा! सोम और रुद्र, तुम दोनों के हाथ में तेज़ हथियार है, तीर भी तेज़ है, पर तुम बड़े दयालु हो। हमें आशीर्वाद दो और हमें आराम दिलाओ।
