Atharva Veda Sukta 11
Kanda 2Anuvaka 2Sukta 115 Mantras

Sukta 11

Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasa tradition (ascribed at the hymn level in many indices; verse-level r̥ṣi not separately specified).

Devata: Dveṣa (enmity) as a hostile force to be reversed; implicitly the mantra’s own brahman-power (vac) as agent.

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; AV 2.x commonly in anuṣṭubh—confirmable against a pada-count recension table).

《阿闼婆吠陀》2.11是一则简短的阿闼婆系咒法,用以对治竞争与仇怨:将敌对的dveṣa(憎怨、敌意)反转回施怨者自身,同时加持施行者/赞助者“获得更佳之分”(śreyas),并越过对手与其“相等的地位”。全诗五节近似anuṣṭubh体,先为破坏性力量重新命名(败坏、武器、忿怒等),继而以光辉与光明再度祝圣行咒者/赞助者,宣示咒语之梵力(言语之力)既能拒退侵害,也能确保更高的兴盛与福分。

Frequently Asked Questions

It is used to counter enmity and rivalry—sending hostility back to the hostile person while helping the patron gain the ‘better lot’ (śreyas) and surpass competitors.

Not prominently. The main ‘deity’ is the force of dveṣa treated as something to be reversed, and the effective agent is mantra-power (brahman/vāc) that compels the outcome and installs brilliance (jyotis).

The text itself does not require substances. In Atharvanic practice, a simple thread or amulet may be used as a carrier, consecrated during recitation—especially with the final luminous verse.
