Atharva Veda 8.6.24: Kanda 8, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 6, Mantra 24
Sukta 6
ये सूर्या॑त् परि॒सर्प॑न्ति स्नु॒षेव॒ श्वशु॑रा॒दधि॑ । ब॒जश्च॒ तेषां॑ पि॒ङ्गश्च॒ हृद॒येऽधि॒ नि वि॑ध्यताम्
yé sū́ryād pári-sarpanti snúṣevá śváśurād ádhi | bájaś ca téṣāṃ piṅgáś ca hṛ́daye ’dhi ní vidhyatām ||
They who creep about from the Sun, as a daughter-in-law (moves) from the father-in-law—let Baja and let Piṅga pierce them down in the heart.
जो लोग सूरज के पास से घूमते हैं, जैसे बहू ससुर के घर से निकल जाती है, उनके दिल में बज और पिंग घास मारें। यह दोनों उनको ऐसे मारें कि वो ठीक न हो पाएँ।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (unspecified).
Devata: Baja and Piṅga (guardian/smiting powers).
