Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.96

या ओषधयः सोमराज्ञीर् बह्वीः शतविचक्षणाः । बृहस्पतिप्रसूतास् ता नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥१॥

yā oṣadhayaḥ somarājñīr bahvīḥ śatavicakṣaṇāḥ | bṛhaspatiprasūtās tā no muñcantv aṃhasaḥ ||1||

The herbs whose king is Soma, numerous, of hundred-fold aspect (? vicakṣaṇa), impelled by Brihaspati—let them free us from distress.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

मुञ्चन्तु मा शपथ्याद् अथो वरुण्याद् उत । अथो यमस्य पड्वीशाद् विश्वस्माद् देवकिल्बिषात् ॥२॥

muñcantu mā śapathyād atho varuṇyād uta | atho yamasya paḍvīśād viśvasmād devakilbiṣāt ||2||

Let them free me from that which comes from a curse, then also from that which is of Varuṇa, then from Yama's fetter, from all offense against the gods.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यच् चक्षुषा मनसा यच् च वाचोपारिम जाग्रतो यत् स्वपन्तः । सोमस् तानि स्वधया नः पुनातु ॥३॥

yac cakṣuṣā manasā yac ca vācopārima jāgrato yat svapantaḥ | somas tāni svadhayā naḥ punātu ||3||

If (yát) with eye, with mind, and if with speech we have offended (upa-ṛ) waking, if sleeping, let Soma purify those things for us with svadhā́.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
