Atharva Veda 7.59.1: Kanda 7, Anuvaka 6, Sukta 59, Mantra 1
Sukta 59
शाप-मोचनम्। यो नः॒ शपा॒दश॑पतः॒ शप॑तो॒ यश्च॑ नः॒ शपा॑त्। वृ॒क्ष इ॑व वि॒द्युता॑ ह॒त आ मूला॒दनु॑ शुष्यतु
śāpa-mocánam | yó naḥ śápād áśapataḥ śápato yáś ca naḥ śápāt | vṛ́kṣa iva vidyútā hatá ā mū́lād ánu śuṣyatu
Release from curse. Whoso, by cursing, hath cursed us—curser, or he who would undo the curse—whosoever by curse (hath touched) us: like a tree smitten by lightning, let him wither, down from the root, utterly away.
जो कोई भी हम पे बद्दुआ किया है, चाहे वो बद्दुआ करने वाला हो या बद्दुआ वापस लेने वाला, वो आदमी बिजली से टूटा पेड़ की तरह सूख जाए। उसकी जड़ से पूरा खत्म हो जाए।
