Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.113

त्रिते देवा अमृजतैतद् एनस् त्रित एनन् मनुष्येषु ममृजे । ततो यदि त्वा ग्राहिर् आनशे तां ते देवा ब्रह्मणा नाशयन्तु ॥१॥

trite devā amṛjataitad enas trita enan manuṣyeṣu mamṛje | tato yadi tvā grāhir ānaśe tāṃ te devā brahmaṇā nāśayantu ||1||

On Trita the gods wiped off that sin; Trita wiped it off on human beings; if from that the seizure hath reached thee, let the gods make it disappear for thee by the incantation bráhman).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

मरीचीर् धूमान् प्र विशानु पाप्मन्न् उदारान् गछोत वा नीहारान् । नदीनं फेनां अनु तान् वि नश्य भ्रूणघ्नि पूषन् दुरितानि मृक्ष्व ॥२॥

marīcīr dhūmān pra viśānu pāpmann udārān gachota vā nīhārān | nadīnaṃ phenāṃ anu tān vi naśya bhrūṇaghni pūṣan duritāni mṛkṣva ||2||

Enter thou after the beams, the smokes, O evil; go unto the mists or also the fogs; disappear along those foams of the rivers: wipe off difficulties, O Pūshan, on the embryo-slayer.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

द्वादशधा निहितं त्रितस्यापमृष्टम् मनुष्यैनसानि । ततो यदि त्वा ग्राहिर् आनशे तां ते देवा ब्रह्मणा नाशयन्तु ॥३॥

dvādaśadhā nihitaṃ tritasyāpamṛṣṭam manuṣyainasāni | tato yadi tvā grāhir ānaśe tāṃ te devā brahmaṇā nāśayantu ||3||

Twelvefold is deposited what was wiped off by Trita—sins of human beings; if from that the seizure hath reached thee, let the gods make it disappear for thee by the incantation.
