Atharva Veda 8.6.3: Kanda 8, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 6, Mantra 3
Sukta 6
मा सं वृ॑तो॒ मोप॑ सृप ऊ॒रू माव॑ सृपोऽन्त॒रा। कृ॒णोम्य॑स्यै भेष॒जं ब॒जं दु॑र्णाम॒चात॑नम्
mā́ sáṃ vṛto mópa sṛpa ūrū́ mā́va sṛpo’ntárā | kṛṇómy asyāi bheṣajáṃ bájaṃ durṇā́macātanam ||
Be not wholly closed in; creep not up—creep not down between the thighs. For her I prepare a remedy, a strengthening power, an expeller of Ill-name.
इस औरत के लिए मैं एक दवा तैयार कर रहा हूँ। यह उसको ताकत देगी और बुरा नाम दूर करेगी। तू बिल्कुल बंद मत हो, ना ही ऊपर की तरफ सरक। अपने पैरों के बीच में भी मत सरक।
