Atharva Veda 6.116.2: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 12, Sukta 116, Mantra 2
Sukta 116
वै॒व॒स्व॒तः कृ॑णवद् भाग॒धेयं॒ मधु॑भागो॒ मधु॑ना॒ सं सृ॑जाति । मा॒तुर्यदेन॑ इषि॒तं न॒ आग॒न् यद् वा॑ पि॒ताप॑राद्धो जिही॒डे
vaivásvataḥ kṛṇavad bhāgadhéyaṃ mádhu-bhāgo mádhunā sáṃ sṛjāti | mātúr yád éna iṣitáṃ ná ā́gan yád vā pitā́parāddhó jihī́ḍe ||
May Vaivasvata appoint our portion; sweet-shared, with sweetness may he set it all in order—whatever guilt from mother, sent forth, hath come upon us, or what the father, offending, hath wrought to our hurt.
Niech Waivaswata przydzieli nam nasz dział; słodko-dzielący, niech słodyczą wszystko w porządku ustawi, cokolwiek winy z matki, zesłanej, na nas przyszło, lub co ojciec, występując, wyrządził nam na szkodę.
