Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 13.3.6
IAST Transliteration

yásmin ṣáḍ urvī́ḥ páñca díśo ádhi śritā́ś catásra ā́po yajñásya tráyo ’kṣárāḥ | yó antárā ródasī kruddháś cákṣuṣā́ikṣata tásya devásya | kruddhásyaitád ā́go yá eváṃ vidvā́ṃsaṃ brāhmaṇáṃ jinā́ti | úd vepaya rohita prá kṣiṇīhi brahmajyásya práti muñca pā́śān

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

In whom are set the six broad regions; on whom the five directions rest; (in whom are) the four Waters; (in whom) of Sacrifice the three imperishable syllables:—He who, wrathful, looked with his eye between the two worlds—of that God. This is the offence against that wrathful God, whoso thus wrongs a knowing Brahmin. Make him quake, O Rohita; waste him away; against the Brahmin-hurter loose back the nooses.

Translation

ในท่านนั้นมีแดนกว้างหกส่วนตั้งอยู่; บนท่านนั้นทิศทั้งห้าพักพิง; (ในท่านนั้น) มีน้ำนั้นสี่; (ในท่านนั้น) มีสามพยางค์อันไม่เสื่อมของพิธีบูชายัญ. เขาผู้พิโรธได้เพ่งด้วยตาของตนระหว่างสองโลก—ของเทพองค์นั้น. นี่คือความผิดล่วงเกินต่อเทพผู้พิโรธนั้น: ผู้ใดทำร้ายพราหมณ์ผู้รู้ดังนี้. จงลุกขึ้นทำให้เขาสั่นสะท้านเถิด โโรหิตะ; จงทำให้เขาร่วงโรย; จงปล่อยบ่วงให้ย้อนกลับสู่ผู้ทำร้ายพราหมณ์.
