Atharva Veda 2.29.7: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 29, Mantra 7
Sukta 29
इन्द्र॑ ए॒तां स॑सृजे विद्धो अग्र॑ ऊ॒र्जां स्व॒धाम॒जरां॒ सा त॑ ए॒षा। तया॒ त्वं जी॑व श॒रदः॑ सु॒वर्चा॒ मा त॒ आ सु॑स्रोद् भि॒षज॑स्ते अक्रन्
índra etā́ṃ sasṛje viddhó ágre ūrjā́ṃ svadhā́m ájarāṃ sā́ ta eṣā́ | tayā́ tváṃ jī́va śarádaḥ suvár̥cā mā́ ta ā́ susrod bhiṣájaḥ te akran
Indra, though smitten, in the beginning sent forth this—vital strength, self-potent, undecaying: this is it for thee. By it do thou live on through autumns, fair in radiance; let it not stream upon thee—(for) the healers have wrought (the cure) for thee.
اے اندر، مارا جانے کے باوجود، ابتدا میں اسے پیدا کیا، حیاتی طاقت، خود کار فرما، نہ بڑھاپا آنے والی، یہ تیرے لیے ہے۔ اس سے تو خزاں گزاریں، تابناک ہو کر جیتا رہ، یہ تجھ پر نہ بہے، کیونکہ شفا دہندگان نے تجھ کے لیے علاج کیا ہے۔
Rishi: Unspecified here (to be confirmed from the AV Śaunaka Anukramaṇī for 2.29).

Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh (to be verified by metrical count against Śaunaka padapāṭha).
