Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 4.35.7
IAST Transliteration

áva bādhe dviṣántaṃ devápīyuṃ sapatnā́ yé me ’pá té bhavantu | brahmáudanáṃ viśvájitaṃ pacāmi śṛṇvántu me śraddádhānasya devā́ḥ

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Away I smite the hater, the god-drinker; the rivals who are mine—away with them, let them be gone. I cook the Brahma-Odana, all-conquering: let the Gods hearken unto me, who act in faith.

Translation

ദ്വേഷിയെയും ദേവപീയുവിനെയും (ദേവപാനം ചെയ്യുന്നവനെ) ഞാൻ അകറ്റി അടിച്ചമർത്തുന്നു; എനിക്ക് എതിരായ സപത്നർ—അവർ അകന്നു പോകട്ടെ, വിട്ടുമാറട്ടെ. ഞാൻ വിശ്വജിത് ആയ ബ്രഹ്മ-ഓദനം പാകം ചെയ്യുന്നു; ശ്രദ്ധയോടെ പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്ന എന്നെ ദേവന്മാർ ശ്രവിക്കട്ടെ.
