Atharva Veda 4.13.5: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 13, Mantra 5
Sukta 13
आ त्वा॑गमं॒ शंता॑तिभि॒रथो॑ अरि॒ष्टता॑तिभिः । दक्षं॑ त उ॒ग्रमाभा॑रिषं॒ परा॒ यक्ष्मं॑ सुवामि ते
ā tvā́gamam śáṃtātibhir átho ariṣṭátātibhiḥ | dákṣaṃ ta ugrám ā́bhāriṣam párā yákṣmaṃ suvāmi te
Hither have I come unto thee with bestowals of peace, yea, with bestowals of unhurt security. For thee have I brought strong, vigorous power: from thee I drive the wasting Yakṣma far away.
அமைதியின் அருள்களோடும், காயமற்ற பாதுகாப்பின் அருள்களோடும் நான் உன்னிடம் வந்தேன். உனக்காக வலிமைமிக்க, தீவிரமான சக்தியை நான் கொண்டு வந்தேன்; உன்னிடமிருந்து யக்ஷ்மாவை நான் தொலைவில் விரட்டுகிறேன்.
