Sukta 3

यत् ते॑ न॒द्धं वि॑श्ववारे॒ पाशो॑ ग्र॒न्थिश्च॒ यः कृ॒तः । बृह॒स्पति॑रिवा॒हं ब॒लं वा॒चा वि स्रं॑सयामि॒ तत्

Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 9.3.2

yát te naddháṃ viśva-vāre pā́śo gránthiś ca yáḥ kṛtáḥ | bṛ́haspátir ivāháṃ bálaṃ vācā́ ví sraṃsayāmi tát

What binding thou hast, O all-warding,—the noose, the knot, which hath been made,—that, like Bṛhaspati, I with speech unloose, and make its force fall away.

凡你这“护佑万方”者所作之系缚——套索与结扣——我如同布里哈斯帕提(Bṛhaspati),以言语解开,使其力势消散。
