Atharva Veda 5.3.2: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 2
Sukta 3
अग्ने॑ म॒न्युं प्र॑तिनु॒दन् परे॑षां॒ त्वं नो॑ गो॒पाः परि॑ पाहि वि॒श्वतः॑ । अपा॑ञ्चो यन्तु नि॒वता॑ दुर॒स्यवो॒ऽमैषां॑ चि॒त्तं प्र॒बुधां॒ वि ने॑शत्
ágnē mányuṃ pratinudán paréṣāṃ tváṃ no gōpā́ḥ pári pāhi viśvátaḥ | apā́ñcō yantu nivátā durasyávo ’máīṣāṃ cíttaṃ prabúdhāṃ ví nēśat ||
O Agni, thrusting back the wrath of others, be thou our guardian; encompass and protect us from all sides. Let the ill-aiming go away turned backward, with heads bowed down; and do thou scatter—lead off to ruin—their mind, though waking and alert.
アグニよ、他者の憤りを押し返し、われらの守護者となれ。四方より取り巻いてわれらを護れ。狙い悪しき者どもは、うしろ向きに退き、頭を垂れて去れ。汝は彼らの心を散らし、たとえ目覚めて鋭くあろうとも、破滅へと導け。
