Atharva Veda 2.15.4: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 15, Mantra 4
Sukta 15
यथा॒ ब्रह्म॑ च क्ष॒त्रं च॒ न बि॑भी॒तो न रिष्य॑तः । ए॒वा मे॑ प्राण॒ मा बि॑भेः
yáthā bráhma ca kṣatráṃ ca ná bibhītó ná riṣyátaḥ | evā́ me prāṇá mā́ bibheḥ ||
Even as the Brahman-power and the Kṣatra-power have not feared, nor are they harmed—so, for me, O Breath of life, be not afraid.
Sebagaimana kekuatan Brahman dan kekuatan Kṣatra tidak takut dan tidak mengalami celaka—demikian pula, wahai Prāṇa (Napas Kehidupan), demi diriku—janganlah engkau takut.
