Mantra 1
Sukta 57
दुःष्वप्ननाशनम्। यथा कलां यथा शफं यथर्णं संनयन्ति । एवा दुष्वप्न्यं सर्वमप्रिये सं नयामसि
yáthā kalā́m yáthā śapháṃ yáthárṇaṃ saṃnáyanti | evā́ duṣvápmyaṃ sárvam ápriye sáṃ nayāmasi
As men gather up a portion, as they gather up the hoof, as they gather up the wave’s mass—so do we gather up and convey, in its entirety, the evil of ill-dream unto the Unloved (the foe).
ଯେପରି ଲୋକେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଅଂଶ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରନ୍ତି, ଯେପରି ଖୁରର ଭାଗ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରନ୍ତି, ଯେପରି ତରଙ୍ଗର ଢେର ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରନ୍ତି—ସେପରି ଆମେ ଦୁଃସ୍ୱପ୍ନର ସମସ୍ତ ଅପ୍ରିୟ ଦୋଷକୁ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବେ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରି, ଅପ୍ରିୟ (ଶତ୍ରୁ) ପାଖକୁ ପଠାଉଛୁ।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (Anukramaṇī attribution for this late book is often generalized; consult Śaunakīya anukramaṇī for precise assignment).
Devata: Duṣvapnya (ill-dream) as the target; implicit protective power of the Atharvanic mantra.
Chandas: Mixed/late Atharvanic; approximates Anuṣṭubh cadence but not strictly regular.
