Atharva Veda 6.76.4: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 8, Sukta 76, Mantra 4
Sukta 76
नैनं घ्नन्ति पर्या॒यिणो॒ न स॒न्नाँ अव॑ गच्छति । अ॒ग्नेर्यः क्ष॒त्रियो॑ वि॒द्वान् नाम॑ गृ॒ह्णात्यायु॑षे
ná enaṃ ghnanti paryāyíṇo ná sannā́m áva gacchati | agnér yáḥ kṣatríyo vidvā́n nā́ma gṛhṇā́ty ā́yuṣe ||
The roaming assailants smite him not, nor goeth he down to sinking: the Kṣatriya, knowing, who for life layeth hold on Agni’s name.
जो लोग घूम के हमला करते हैं, वो इस इंसान को मार नहीं सकते। यह कभी डूबता नहीं। जो क्षत्रिय अग्नि के नाम को जान के पकड़ता है, उसकी उमर लंबी होती है।
