Atharva Veda 4.10.5: Kanda 4, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 10, Mantra 5

Sukta 10

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

स॒मु॒द्राज्जा॒तो म॒णिर्वृ॒त्राज्जा॒तो दि॑वाक॒रः । सो अ॒स्मान्त्स॒र्वतः॑ पातु हे॒त्या दे॑वासु॒रेभ्यः॑

IAST Transliteration

samudrā́j jātáḥ maṇír vṛtrā́j jātáḥ divākaráḥ | só asmā́n sárvataḥ pātu hetyā́ devā́surebhyaḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Born from the ocean is the amulet; born from Vṛtra is the sun-bringer. May it guard us on every side from weapon-stroke, from Gods and Asuras.

Translation

సముద్రం నుండి జన్మించినది ఈ మణి (తాయత్తు); వృత్రుని నుండి జన్మించినది దివాకరుడు (సూర్య-ప్రేరకుడు). ఇది మమ్మల్ని అన్ని దిక్కుల నుండీ కాపాడుగాక—ఆయుధప్రహారంనుండి, దేవుల నుండీ అసురుల నుండీ.
