Atharva Veda 2.35.3: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 35, Mantra 3
Sukta 35
अ॒दा॒न्यान्त्सो॑म॒पान् मन्य॑मानो य॒ज्ञस्य॑ वि॒द्वान्त्स॑म॒ये न धीरः॑ । यदेन॑श्चकृ॒वान् ब॒द्ध ए॒ष तं वि॑श्वकर्म॒न् प्र मु॑ञ्चा स्व॒स्तये॑
adānyā́n somapā́n manyámāno yajñásya vidvā́n samayé ná dhī́raḥ | yád énaś cakṛvā́n baddhá eṣá táṃ viśvakarman prá muñcā svastáye ||
Ungiving, yet deeming himself a Soma-drinker, and, though knowing the sacrifice, at the due season not steadfast—whatever sin he hath committed, this man is bound thereby: him, O Viśvakarman, do thou wholly loose, for welfare.
Недающий, но мнящий себя сомапойцей, и, хотя знающий жертвоприношение, в должный срок не стойкий, — какой бы грех он ни совершил, этим он связан: его, о Вишвакарман, полностью освободи ради благополучия.
Rishi: Traditionally Atharvanic/Angirasa attribution for expiatory hymns; specific r̥ṣi for 2.35 requires pada-anukramaṇī confirmation.
Devata: Viśvakarman (as releaser and cosmic rectifier); secondarily ‘svasti’ as the desired state.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; requires metrical verification against pada counts in the Saunaka tradition).
Primary: karuna
Secondary: shanta
