Mantra 11
Sukta 4
परः सो अस्तु तन्वा३ तना च तिस्रः पृथिवीरधो अस्तु विश्वाः । प्रति शुष्यतु यशो अस्य देवा यो मा दिवा दिप्सति यश्च नक्तम्
paráḥ sá astu tanvā́ tanā́ ca tisráḥ pṛthivī́r adhó astu víśvāḥ | práti śuṣyatu yáśo asya devā́ yó mā divā́ dípsati yáś ca náktam ||
Far off let him be, in body and in offspring; beneath all the three earths let him be. Back upon him, O Gods, let his glory wither—who by day would seize me, and who by night.
Jauhlah dia, jauh sekali, pada tubuhnya dan pada keturunannya; biarlah ia berada di bawah ketiga bumi seluruhnya. Berbalik menimpanya, wahai para Dewa, biarlah kemuliaannya layu—dia yang hendak merenggut aku pada siang hari, dan dia yang (hendak merenggut) pada malam hari.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (anukramaṇī attribution varies)
Devata: The Gods collectively (Devas) as enforcers; implicit adversary is the thief/aggressor
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (as transmitted)
