Mantra 10
Sukta 14
पुत्र इव पितरं गच्छ स्वज इवाभिष्ठितो दश । बन्धमिवावक्रामी गच्छ कृत्ये कृत्याकृतं पुनः
putrá iva pitáraṃ gaccha svajá ivā́bhiṣṭhito daśa | bandhám ivāvakrāmī́ gaccha kṛ́tye kṛtyākṛtáṃ púnaḥ ||
Go, like a son unto his father; like one’s own driven kinsman, fasten and bite. Like a bond that slips away, depart: O Kṛtyā, go back unto the maker of the Kṛtyā.
如子趋父，去吧；如自家亲族被驱使而来，紧缚而噬。又如束缚自行滑脱而去，离去吧：克利提亚（Kṛtyā）啊，回到那造作克利提亚者那里去。
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Kṛtyā (addressed) / the counter-force of return
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh
