Atharva Veda 4.18.6 — Kanda 4, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 18, Mantra 6
Sukta 18
यश्च॒कार॒ न श॒शाक॒ कर्तुं॑ श॒श्रे पाद॑म॒ङ्गुरि॑म्। च॒कार॑ भ॒द्रम॒स्मभ्य॑मा॒त्मने॒ तप॑नं॒ तु सः
yáś cakā́ra ná śaśā́ka kártum śaśré pā́dam aṅgúrim | cakā́ra bhadrám asmábhyam ātmáne tápanaṃ tú sáḥ ||
He who hath wrought—whom none had power to counterwork—hath shattered foot and toe. He hath prepared for us a blessing; but for himself, indeed, a burning (for the foe).
Dia yang telah berbuat—yang tak seorang pun sanggup membalas perbuatannya—telah meremukkan kaki dan jari kaki. Ia telah menyiapkan bagi kami suatu berkah; tetapi bagi dirinya sendiri, sungguh, suatu pembakaran (bagi musuh).
