Atharva Veda 5.31.2: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 31, Mantra 2
Sukta 31
यां ते॑ च॒क्रुः कृ॑क॒वाका॑व॒जे वा॒ यां कु॑री॒रिणि॑ । अव्यां॑ ते कृ॒त्यां यां च॒क्रुः पुनः॒ प्रति॑ हरामि॒ ताम्
yā́m te cakrúḥ kṛ̀kavākā́vaje vā́ yā́m kurīríṇi | avyā́m te kṛtyā́m yā́m cakrúḥ púnaḥ práti harāmi tā́m ||
What witchcraft they have wrought against thee in the goat-stall, or what in the women’s chamber; what kṛtyā they have made against thee among the ewes—that same I bear back again in return.
Apa jua sihir yang mereka lakukan terhadapmu di kandang kambing, atau yang di bilik perempuan; apa jua kṛtyā yang mereka buat terhadapmu di antara biri-biri betina—yang itu juga aku bawa pulang kembali sebagai balasan.
Rishi: Atharvanic seer (traditionally Atharvan/Angiras-associated for kṛtyā hymns; specific attribution varies by anukramaṇī).
Devata: Kṛtyā (as hostile entity) and the counteracting Atharvanic power of reversal (prati).
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant in AV counter-charm verses; here in two pādas with refrain-like closure).
Primary: raudra
Secondary: vira
