Atharva Veda 3.25.5: Kanda 3, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 25, Mantra 5
Sukta 25
आजा॑मि॒ त्वाज॑न्या॒ परि॑ मा॒तुरथो॑ पि॒तुः । यथा॒ मम॒ क्रता॒वसो॒ मम॑ चि॒त्तमु॒पाय॑सि
ā́ jā́mi tvā́ janyā́ḥ pári mātúr átho pitúḥ | yáthā máma kratāváso máma cittám upā́yasi ||
Hither I call thee, O intimate, away from thy folk—away from mother and from father—so that, O helper of my resolve, thou mayest come unto my mind, yea, unto my intent.
Wzywam cię tutaj, o bliska, z dala od twoich bliskich - z dala od matki i od ojca - abyś, o wspomożycielko mojego postanowienia, przybyła do mojego umysłu, tak, do mojego zamiaru.
