Atharva Veda 5.29.14: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 29, Mantra 14
Sukta 29
ए॒तास्ते॑ अग्ने स॒मिधः॑ पिशाच॒जम्भ॑नीः । तास्त्वं जु॑षस्व॒ प्रति॑ चैना गृहाण जातवेदः
etā́ste agne samídhaḥ piśācajámbhanīḥ | tā́stváṃ juṣasva práti cainā gṛhāṇa jātavedaḥ ||
These, Agni, are thy kindling-sticks, the crushings-down of Pisācas. Them do thou accept with favour, and take them to thee in return, O Jātavedas.
अग्नि, यह लकड़ियाँ तेरे लिए है। इनसे पिशाचों को कुचल दिया जा सकता है। इन्हें अपने पास रख ले और खुशी से ले ले। जातवेद, तू सब जानता है, इन्हें वापस अपने घर ले आ।
