Atharva Veda 7.35.3: Kanda 7, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 35, Mantra 3
Sukta 35
परं॒ योने॒रव॑रं ते कृणोमि॒ मा त्वा॑ प्र॒जाभि भू॒न्मोत सूनुः॑ । अ॒स्वं॑१ त्वाप्र॑जसं कृणो॒म्यश्मा॑नं ते अपि॒धानं कृणोमि
paráṃ yóner ávaraṃ te kṛṇómi mā́ tvā prajā́bhir bhūn mótá sūnúḥ | ásvaṃ tvā́ ’prajasaṃ kṛṇómy aśmā́naṃ te apidhā́naṃ kṛṇómi ||
The upper and the lower of thy womb I set in order: let not offspring oppress thee, nor yet a son. Barren, without progeny, I make thee; a stone for thee I make as covering-stopper.
Bahagian atas dan bawah rahimmu aku aturkan; janganlah zuriat menekanmu, dan jangan pula seorang anak lelaki. Mandul, tanpa keturunan, aku jadikan engkau; seketul batu untukmu aku jadikan sebagai penutup-penyumbat.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (as per Anukramaṇī for 7.35)
Devata: Apidhāna/Aśman (functional ‘deity’ of closure); the yoni as ritual focus
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable)
Primary: raudra
Secondary: bhayankara
