Atharva Veda 13.3.4: Kanda 13, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 4
Sukta 3
यः प्रा॒णेन॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी त॒र्पय॑त्यपा॒नेन॑ समु॒द्रस्य॑ ज॒ठरं॒ यः पिप॑र्ति॒ तस्य॑ दे॒वस्य॑ क्रु॒द्धस्यै॒तदागो॒ य ए॒वं वि॒द्वांसं॑ ब्राह्म॒णं जि॒नाति॑ । उद् वे॑पय रोहित॒ प्र क्षि॑णीहि ब्रह्म॒ज्यस्य॒ प्रति॑ मुञ्च॒ पाशा॑न्
yáḥ prāṇéna dyā́vāpr̥thivī́ tarpáyaty apānéna samudrásya jaṭháraṃ yáḥ pípārti tásya devásya krúddhasyáitád ā́go yá eváṃ vidvā́ṃsaṃ brāhmaṇáṃ jinā́ti | úd vepaya rohita prá kṣiṇīhi brahmajyásya práti muñca pā́śān
He who with prāṇa refreshes Heaven and Earth, who with apāna fills the ocean’s belly—of that god, when angered, this is the offence: he who, knowing thus, wrongs a learned Brahmin. Up, make him tremble, O Rohita; waste him away: against the brahma-injurer loose forth the nooses.
Dia yang dengan prāṇa menyegarkan Langit dan Bumi, yang dengan apāna memenuhi perut samudra—itulah dewa itu. Bila Ia murka, inilah dosa: orang yang, mengetahui demikian, menzalimi seorang Brahmana yang berilmu. Bangkitkanlah ia hingga gemetar, wahai Rohita; susutkanlah dia: terhadap si perusak-brahman (brahma-jya) lepaskanlah jerat-jerat itu.
