Atharva Veda 2.10.5: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 10, Mantra 5
Sukta 10
तासु॑ त्वा॒न्तर्ज॒रस्या द॑धामि॒ प्र यक्ष्म॑ एतु॒ निरृ॑तिः परा॒चैः । ए॒वाहं त्वां क्षे॑त्रि॒यान्निरृ॑त्या जामिशं॒साद् द्रु॒हो मु॑ञ्चामि॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ पाशा॑त्। अ॒ना॒गसं॒ ब्रह्म॑णा त्वा कृणोमि शि॒वे ते॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी उ॒भे स्ता॑म्
tā́su tvā́ntár-jarasyā́ dadhāmi prá yákṣma etu nírṛtiḥ parācaíḥ | evā́háṃ tvāṃ kṣetriyā́n nírṛtyā jāmí-śaṃsād drúho muñcāmi váruṇasya pā́śāt | anāgásaṃ bráhmaṇā tvā kṛṇomi śivé te dyā́vā-pṛthivī ubhé stām
Within those I set thee, from the inward wasting: forth let the Yakṣma go; let Nirr̥ti pass away afar. Thus I, from field-bred ill, from Nirr̥ti, from the kinsman’s curse, from treachery, release thee—from Varuṇa’s noose. Guiltless with holy spell I make thee: for thee may Heaven and Earth, both, stand benign.
Wśród nie ja umieszczam cię, chroniąc przed wewnętrznym wyniszczeniem: niech Yakṣma odejdzie; niech Nirṛti oddali się precz. Tak uwalniam cię od choroby polnej, od Nirṛti, od klątwy krewnego, od zdrady - z pętli Varuny. Niewinnym świętą mantrą cię czynię: dla ciebie niechaj Niebo i Ziemia, obie, stoją łaskawie.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (exact seer attribution for AVŚ 2.10 varies by anukramaṇī; to be confirmed against Śaunakīya anukramaṇī data)
Devata: Yakṣma (as disease-demon) and Nirr̥ti (misfortune/death); Varuṇa (as binder whose pāśa is removed); Dyāvā-Pṛthivī (benedictory witnesses)
Chandas: Predominantly Triṣṭubh-like cadence with mixed pādas (to be verified by metrical scan against pada text)
Primary: shanta
Secondary: karuna
