Atharva Veda 8.6.7: Kanda 8, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 6, Mantra 7
Sukta 6
यस्त्वा॒ स्वप्ने॑ नि॒पद्य॑ते॒ भ्राता॑ भू॒त्वा पि॒तेव॑ च । ब॒जस्तान्त्स॑हतामि॒तः क्ली॒बरू॑पांस्तिरी॒टिनः॑
yás tvā svápne nipádyate bhrā́tā bhūtvā pitā́va ca | bajás tā́n tsahatām itáḥ klībarū́pāṃs tirī́ṭinaḥ ||
Whoso in dream falls upon thee, becoming brother, and as it were father—Baja, from hence overpower those prowlers, making them of impotent form.
अगर सपने में कोई तुम्हारे पास आए, भाई बन के या बाप बन के, बजा उसको रोक देगा। वो ऐसे लोग जो चुपके से आते हैं, उनको बजा बेकार कर देगा, उनकी ताकत खत्म कर देगा।
