Atharva Veda 5.29.10: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 29, Mantra 10
Sukta 29
क्र॒व्याद॑मग्ने रुधि॒रं पि॑शा॒चं म॑नो॒हनं॑ जहि जातवेदः । तमिन्द्रो॑ वा॒जी वज्रे॑ण हन्तु छि॒नत्तु॒ सोमः॒ शिरो॑ अस्य धृ॒ष्णुः
kravyā́dam agne rudhiráṃ piśācáṃ manohánaṃ jahí jātavedas | tám índro vājī vájreṇa hantu chináttu sómaḥ śíro asya dhṛ́ṣṇuḥ
O Agni, smite the flesh-eater, the bloody Piśāca, the mind-bewitcher, O Jātavedas. Let Indra the vigorous slay him with the bolt; let Soma, the bold, cut off his head.
अग्नि, वो फ्लेश खाने वाला पिशाच को मार। वो खूनी है और दिमाग घुमा देता है। इंद्र अपनी पावर से उसे मार दे। सोम उसका सर काट दे।
