शं ते॒ वातो॑ अ॒न्तरि॑क्षे॒ वयो॑ धा॒च्छं ते॑ भवन्तु प्र॒दिश॒श्चत॑स्रः । ए॒वाहं त्वां क्षे॑त्रि॒या॑न्निरृ॑त्या जामिशं॒साद् द्रु॒हो मु॑ञ्चामि॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ पाशा॑त्। अ॒ना॒गसं॒ ब्रह्म॑णा त्वा कृणोमि शि॒वे ते॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी उ॒भे स्ता॑म्

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 2.10.3

śáṃ te vā́to antárikṣe váyo dhād śáṃ te bhavantu pradíśaś cátasraḥ | evā́háṃ tvāṃ kṣetriyā́n nirṛ́tyā jā́miśaṃsād drúho muñcāmi váruṇasya pā́śāt | anā́gasaṃ bráhmaṇā tvā kṛṇomi śivḗ te dyā́vā-pṛthivī ubhé stām ||

Weal be to thee: may Wind, in the mid-air, set vital power within thee; weal be to thee: may the four quarters be auspicious unto thee. Thus do I release thee from kṣetriya, from Nirṛti, from the kinsman’s curse, from treachery; I loose thee from Varuṇa’s noose. Guiltless by holy spell I make thee: gracious unto thee let Heaven and Earth, both, stand.

നിനക്കു മംഗളം: അന്തരിക്ഷത്തിലുള്ള വായു നിന്റെ ഉള്ളിൽ പ്രാണബലം സ്ഥാപിക്കട്ടെ; നിനക്കു മംഗളം: നാലു ദിക്കുകളും നിനക്കു ശുഭമായിരിക്കട്ടെ. ഇങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ നിന്നെ ക്ഷേത്രിയയിൽ നിന്ന്, നിരൃതിയിൽ നിന്ന്, ബന്ധുക്കളുടെ ശാപത്തിൽ നിന്ന്, ദ്രോഹത്തിൽ നിന്ന് മോചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു; വരുണന്റെ പാശത്തിൽ നിന്ന് നിന്നെ അഴിച്ചുവിടുന്നു. ബ്രഹ്മമന്ത്രംകൊണ്ട് നിന്നെ നിർദോഷനാക്കുന്നു; നിനക്കായി ദ്യാവാ-പൃഥിവി—ഇരുവരും—ശിവ (മംഗളകര)മായിരിക്കട്ടെ.
