Atharva Veda 18.3.60: Kanda 18, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 3, Mantra 60

Sukta 3

शं ते॑ नीहा॒रो भ॑वतु॒ शं ते॑ प्रु॒ष्वाव॑ शीयताम्। शीति॑के॒ शीति॑कावति॒ ह्लादि॑के॒ ह्लादि॑कावति । म॒ण्डू॒क्य॑१प्सु शं भु॑व इ॒मं स्व॑१ग्निं श॑मय

śáṃ te nīhāró bhavatu śáṃ te prúṣvā́ ava śīyatām | śītíke śītíkāvati hlā́dike hlā́dikāvati | māṇḍūky àpsu śáṃ bhuva imáṃ svàgníṃ śamaya

Weal be to thee: let mist be thine; weal be to thee: let the sprinkling-dew sink down and abate. O Cooling One, rich in coolness; O Refreshing One, rich in refreshment—frog-born in the waters, be thou for peace; this goodly fire do thou appease.

Sejahtera bagimu: biarlah kabus menjadi milikmu; sejahtera bagimu: biarlah embun-percik meresap turun dan reda. Wahai Yang Menyejukkan, kaya dengan kesejukan; wahai Yang Menyegarkan, kaya dengan kesegaran—yang lahir sebagai katak di dalam air, jadilah untuk damai; api yang elok ini, tenangkanlah.
