क्षि॒रे मा॑ म॒न्थे य॑त॒मो द॒दम्भा॑कृष्टप॒च्ये अश॑ने धा॒न्ये॒३यः । तदा॒त्मना॑ प्र॒जया॑ पिशा॒चा वि या॑तयन्तामग॒दो॒३यम॑स्तु

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 5.29.7

kṣīré mā mánthe yátamo dadámbhā́kṛṣṭa-pacyé áśane dhā́nyeyaḥ | tád ātmánā prajā́yā piśācā́ ví yātayantām agadó ayám astu

In milk, in the churned draught, in the cooked dish drawn together, in grain-food—whichever (Piśāca) hath afflicted me in the eating: that, with its own self, with its progeny, let the Piśācas be driven apart; let this be an antidote.

പാലിൽ, മഥിച്ച പാനീയത്തിൽ, ഒരുമിച്ച് ചേർത്ത് പാകം ചെയ്ത വിഭവത്തിൽ, ധാന്യാഹാരത്തിൽ—ഭക്ഷിക്കുമ്പോൾ ഏത് പിശാചൻ എന്നെ പീഡിപ്പിച്ചുവോ; ആ പിശാചർ തങ്ങളുടെ തന്നെ സ്വരൂപത്തോടും തങ്ങളുടെ സന്തതിയോടും കൂടി പിരിഞ്ഞ് അകന്നുപോകട്ടെ. ഇത് അഗദം (വിഷഹരം) ആകട്ടെ.
