Atharva Veda 6.18.3: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 18, Mantra 3
Sukta 18
अ॒दो यत् ते हृ॒दि श्रि॒तं म॑न॒स्कं प॑तयिष्णु॒कम्। तत॑स्त ई॒र्ष्यां मु॑ञ्चामि॒ निरू॒ष्माणं॒ दृते॑रिव
adó yát te hṛdí śritáṃ manaskáṃ patayiṣṇukám | tátas te ī́rṣyā́ṃ muñcāmi nír ūṣmā́ṇaṃ dṛtéḥ iva
That which, mind-begotten and fluttering, hath lodged within thy heart—thence do I loose from thee thy jealousy, as heat is let forth from a leather-bag.
నీ హృదయంలో ఆశ్రయించినది—మనస్సు నుండి పుట్టినది, చలించుచూ ఎగిరిపోవాలనుకునేది—అందులోనుండి నీ ఈర్ష్యను నేను విడిపిస్తాను; చర్మపు సంచిలోని వేడి బయటకు విడిచినట్లుగా.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (seer not specified in the provided excerpt; to be resolved via Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Implicitly the healing power of the mantra; the target is īrṣyā as a removable entity (no explicit deity named).
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (to be metrically verified against full pada counts).
Primary: shanta
Secondary: karuna
