Atharva Veda 4.26.7: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 26, Mantra 7
Sukta 26
यन्मे॒दम॑भि॒शोच॑ति॒ येन॑येन वा कृ॒तं पौरु॑षेया॒न्न दैवा॑त्। स्तौमि॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी ना॑थि॒तो जो॑हवीमि॒ ते नो॑ मुञ्चत॒मंह॑सः
yán médam abhiśócati yéna-yena vā kṛtáṃ pāuruṣeyā́n ná daivā́t | stáumi dyā́vā-pṛthivī nā́thito jóhavīmi té no muñcatam áṃhasaḥ ||
Whatso of this afflicts and burns me—by whatsoever cause, whether wrought by man, not by the gods’ decree—Heaven and Earth I praise; as one that needs I call on you: from anguish and from evil set us free.
यन्मेऽदमभिशोचति येन येन वा कृतं पौरुषेयात् न दैवात्। द्यावापृथिवी स्तौमि; नाथितो जोहवीमि; ते नो मुञ्चतम् अंहसः।
