Sukta 6
यत् त्वा शिक्वः परावधीत् तक्षा हस्तेन वास्या । आपस्त्वा तस्मज्जीवलाः पुनन्तु शुचयः शुचिम्
yát tvā́ śikváḥ parā́vadhīt tákṣā hástena vā́syā | ā́pas tvā́ tásmāj jīvá-lāḥ punantu śúcayaḥ śúcim ||
What hurt the craftsman dealt thee—what the carpenter with hand and adze—therefrom let the Waters, life-bestowing, cleanse thee, pure ones cleansing thee to purity.
凡工匠所加于你之伤——木匠以手与斧凿（vāsī）所加之害——愿赐生之水（Āpas），从那一切中洗净你；愿诸清净者，洗你归于清净。
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (maṇi-sūkta complex)
Devata: Āpas (Waters) as purifiers; secondarily the Maṇi
