Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 3.6.2

tā́n aśvattha níḥ śṛṇīhi śátrūn vaibādhadódhataḥ | índreṇa vṛtrághnā médī mítreṇa váruṇena ca ||

Those enemies, O Aśvattha, shatter forth—drive them away with vehement thrust: with Indra the Vṛtra-slayer, with Medī, with Mitra and with Varuṇa.

ان دشمنوں کو، اے اشوتھ، توڑ پھوڑ کر نکال دے، زور سے دور بھگا دے: اندر وتر ہن کے ساتھ، میڈی کے ساتھ، متر اور ورن کے ساتھ۔
