Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.51

वायोः पूतः पवित्रेण प्रत्यङ् सोमो अति द्रुतः । इन्द्रस्य युजः सखा ॥१॥

vāyoḥ pūtaḥ pavitreṇa pratyaṅ somo ati drutaḥ | indrasya yujaḥ sakhā ||1||

Purified with Vāyu's purifier, Soma [hath] run over opposite (pratyán̄), Indra's suitable companion.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

आपो अस्मान् मातरः सूदयन्तु घृतेन नो घृतप्वः पुनन्तु । विश्वं हि रिप्रं प्रवहन्ति देवीर् उद् इद् आभ्यः शुचिर् आ पूत एमि ॥२॥

āpo asmān mātaraḥ sūdayantu ghṛtena no ghṛtapvaḥ punantu | viśvaṃ hi ripraṃ pravahanti devīr ud id ābhyaḥ śucir ā pūta emi ||2||

Let the mother waters further (sūd) us; let the ghee-purifying ones purify us with ghee; since the heavenly ones carry forth all evil (riprá), forth from them, indeed, I come clean, purified.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यत् किं चेदं वरुण दैव्ये जने ऽभिद्रोहं मनुष्याश् चरन्ति । अचित्त्या चेत् तव धर्म युयोपिम मा नस् तस्माद् एनसो देव रीरिषः ॥३॥

yat kiṃ cedaṃ varuṇa daivye jane 'bhidrohaṃ manuṣyāś caranti | acittyā cet tava dharma yuyopima mā nas tasmād enaso deva rīriṣaḥ ||3||

Whatever, O Varuṇa, that is hateful to the people of the gods human beings practise here, if without intention we have obstructed thine ordinances (dhármān), do not, O god, harm us for that sin.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
