Atharva Veda 3.2.4: Kanda 3, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 2, Mantra 4
Sukta 2
व्याऽकूतय एषामि॒ताथो॑ चि॒त्तानि॑ मुह्यत । अथो॒ यद॒द्यैषां॑ हृदि तदे॑षां॒ परि॒ निर्ज॑हि
vyā́kūtaya eṣām itā́tho cittā́ni muhyata | átho yád adyá eṣā́ṃ hṛdí tád eṣā́ṃ pári nírjahi
Their purposes—thus!—and moreover their thoughts, let them be confounded; and further, whatsoever to-day is in their heart, that from them drive forth and expel away.
அவர்களின் நோக்கங்கள்—அப்படியே!—மேலும் அவர்களின் எண்ணங்களும் குழம்பட்டுப் போகட்டும்; மேலும் இன்று அவர்களின் இதயத்தில் இருப்பது எதுவாயினும், அதை அவர்களிடமிருந்து சுற்றிலும் அகற்றி வெளியே தள்ளி, தூரம் விரட்டிவிடு.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa attribution typical for AV counter-charm material (specific r̥ṣi for AVŚ 3.2 requires hymn-header collation).
Devata: Indeterminate; the operative power is the mantra itself as a mohana/apākaraṇa charm directed against human adversaries.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; requires metrical verification against full hymn context).
Primary: raudra
Secondary: vira
