Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.26
अव मा पाप्मन्त् सृज वशी सन् मृदयासि नः । आ मा भद्रस्य लोके पाप्मन् धेह्य् अविह्रुतम् ॥१॥
ava mā pāpmant sṛja vaśī san mṛdayāsi naḥ | ā mā bhadrasya loke pāpman dhehy avihrutam ||1||
Let me go, O evil (pāpmán) being in control, mayest thou be gracious to us; set me uninjured in the world of the excellent, O evil.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यो नः पाप्मन् न जहासि तम् उ त्वा जहिमो वयम् । पथाम् अनु व्यावर्तने ऽन्यं पाप्मानु पद्यताम् ॥२॥
yo naḥ pāpman na jahāsi tam u tvā jahimo vayam | pathām anu vyāvartane 'nyaṃ pāpmānu padyatām ||2||
Thou who, O evil, dost not leave us, thee here do we leave; along at the turning apart of the ways, let evil go after another.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अन्यत्रास्मन् न्य् उच्यतु सहस्राक्षो अमर्त्यः । यं द्वेषाम तम् ऋछतु यम् उ द्विष्मस् तम् इज् जहि ॥३॥
anyatrāsman ny ucyatu sahasrākṣo amartyaḥ | yaṃ dveṣāma tam ṛchatu yam u dviṣmas tam ij jahi ||3||
Elsewhere than [with] us let the thousand-eyed immortal one make its home; whomsoever we may hate, him let it come upon (ṛch); and whom we hate, just him do thou smite.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
