Sukta 53

पुनः॑ प्रा॒णः पुन॑रा॒त्मा न॒ ऐतु॒ पुन॒श्चक्षुः॒ पुन॒रसु॑र्न॒ ऐतु॑ । वै॒श्वा॒न॒रो नो॒ अद॑ब्धस्तनू॒पा अ॒न्तस्ति॑ष्ठाति दुरि॒तानि॒ विश्वा॑

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 6.53.2

púnaḥ prāṇáḥ púnar ātmā́ na étu púnaś cákṣuḥ púnar ásur na étu | vaiśvānaráḥ no ádabdhas tanū-pā́ ántas tíṣṭhāti duritā́ni víśvā

Back let breath come, back let the self come unto us; back let sight, back let life return unto us. Vaiśvānara, our unbeguiled body-guard, stands within, (warding off) all misfortunes.

വീണ്ടും പ്രാണൻ ഞങ്ങളിലേക്കു വരട്ടെ; വീണ്ടും ആത്മാവ് ഞങ്ങളിലേക്കു വരട്ടെ; വീണ്ടും ചക്ഷു (ദൃഷ്ടി) വരട്ടെ; വീണ്ടും അസു (ജീവശക്തി) ഞങ്ങളിലേക്കു മടങ്ങിവരട്ടെ. വൈശ്വാനരൻ—ഞങ്ങളുടെ അദബ്ധ (വഞ്ചിക്കപ്പെടാത്ത) തനൂപാ (ദേഹ-രക്ഷകൻ)—അകത്ത് നിലകൊണ്ട് എല്ലാ ദുരിതങ്ങളും (അപശകുനം/അപകടം/ദുര്ഭാഗ്യം) അകറ്റുന്നു.
