Atharva Veda 6.37.1: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 37, Mantra 1
Sukta 37
शापनाशनम्। उप॒ प्रागा॑त् सहस्रा॒क्षो यु॒क्त्वा श॒पथो॒ रथ॑म्। श॒प्तार॑मन्वि॒छन् मम॒ वृक॑ इ॒वावि॑मतो गृ॒हम्
śāpanāśanám | úpa prā́gāt sahasrā́kṣo yuktvā́ śapátho rátham | śaptā́ram anvichán máma vṛ́ka ivā́vimato gṛhám
Curse-destroying. Hither hath come the thousand-eyed; the Oath (curse-power), having yoked his chariot, seeketh out the curser of me, as a wolf the house of him that hath sheep.
यह मंत्र शापित को खत्म करता है। हज़ारों आँखों वाला देवता आया है। वो श्राप भेजने वाले को ढूंढ रहा है, जैसे भेड़ी वाले घर में भेड़किया जाती है।
