Sukta 140
उपहूतौ सयुजौ स्योनौ दन्तौ सुमङ्गलौ । अन्यत्र वां घोरं तन्वः१ परैतु दन्तौ मा हिंसिष्टं पितरं मातरं च
upáhūtau sayújau syónau dántau sumáṅgalau | anyátra vā́ṃ ghóram tanvàḥ párāitu dantau mā́ hiṃsiṣṭaṃ pitáraṃ mātáraṃ ca ||
Invoked and brought anear, united, kindly, auspicious, O ye two Teeth: elsewhere let your dreadful thing of the body depart. O ye two Teeth, harm not the father, harm not the mother also.
Được thỉnh gọi đến gần, đôi bạn đồng hành, hiền hòa, cát tường—hỡi hai chiếc Răng: điều ghê gớm trong thân các ngươi, hãy đi sang nơi khác. Hỡi hai chiếc Răng, chớ làm hại cha, chớ làm hại mẹ nữa.
Rishi: Atharvanic domestic tradition
Devata: Dantau (Two Teeth) as personified agents; the ‘ghora’ aspect as the expelled harm
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh
