Atharva Veda 6.101.2: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 11, Sukta 101, Mantra 2
Sukta 101
येन॑ कृ॒षं वा॒जय॑न्ति॒ येन॑ हि॒न्वन्त्यातु॑रम्। तेना॒स्य ब्र॑ह्मणस्पते॒ धनु॑रि॒वा ता॑नया॒ पसः॑
yéna kṛśáṃ vājáyanti yéna hinvánty āturám | ténāsya brahmaṇaspate dhánur iva tānáya pásas ||
Wherewith they make the lean man vigorous, wherewith they impel the sick to strength—therewith, O Brahmaṇaspati, stretch thou his member taut, as one a bow.
जिस चीज़ से कमज़ोर आदमी को ताकत मिलती है, बीमार आदमी ठीक हो जाता है, वही ताकत माँग रहे हैं। ब्रह्मणस्पति से दुआ है कि आपका शरीर धनुष की तरह तना हुआ हो और ताकत से भरा हो।
