Atharva Veda 7.51.1: Kanda 7, Anuvaka 6, Sukta 51, Mantra 1
Sukta 51
परिपाणम्। बृह॒स्पति॑र्नः॒ परि॑ पातु प॒श्चादु॒तोत्त॑रस्मा॒दध॑रादघा॒योः । इन्द्रः॑ पु॒रस्ता॑दु॒त म॑ध्य॒तो नः॒ सखा॒ सखि॑भ्यो॒ वरी॑यः॒ कृणोतु
paripā́ṇam | bŕ̥haspátir naḥ pári pātu paścā́d utóttarasmā́d ádharād aghāyóḥ | índraḥ purástād utá madhyató naḥ sákhā sákhibhyo várīyaḥ kr̥ṇotu
All-round protection: May Bṛhaspati guard us round about—from behind, and from the north, and from below, against the evil-doer. May Indra, from the front and from the midst, as friend, for his friends, make for us a safer, wider room.
यह मंत्र चारों तरफ से बचाने के लिए है। बृहस्पति हमें पीछे से, ऊपर से, नीचे से बचाएं, बुरी नज़र और बुरी हरकत से। इंद्र आगे से और बीच से रक्षा करें। वो हमारा दोस्त है, अपने दोस्तों के लिए हमें सुरक्षित रखे।
