Atharva Veda 6.18

Against jealousy

1
English · William Dwight Whitney

Against jealousy

The first blast of jealousy, and the one after the first, the fire, the heat of the heart—this we extinguish for thee.

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

As the earth [is] dead-minded, more dead-minded than a dead man, and as [is] the mind of one who has died, so of the jealous man the mind [be] dead.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

That fluttering mind (manaská) that has found place in (çritá) thy heart—from it I set free thy jealousy, like the hot vapor from a bag of skin.
