Sukta 19
प्र॒त्यङ् हि सं॑ब॒भूवि॑थ प्रती॒चीन॑फल॒स्त्वम्। सर्वा॒न् मच्छ॒पथाँ॒ अधि॒ वरी॑यो यावया व॒धम्
pratyáṅ hí sáṁ babhūvitha pratīcī́na-phalás tvám | sárvān mat-śapáthān ádhi várīyo yāvaya vadhám ||
For thou hast become turned back, with backward-bearing fruit. Over all the curses aimed at me be thou the stronger; drive thou away the deadly harm.
Sesungguhnya engkau telah menjadi berpaling balik, dengan buah yang kembali ke belakang. Atas segala sumpah-serapah yang ditujukan kepadaku, jadilah engkau yang lebih kuat; halaukanlah mudarat yang membawa maut.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
