To remove wrath

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

ava jyām iva dhanvano manyuṃ tanomi te hṛdaḥ yathā saṃmanasau bhūtvā sakhāyāv iva sacāvahai

English · William Dwight Whitney

To remove wrath

As the string from the bow, do I relax (ava-tan) fury from thy heart, that, becoming like-minded, we (two) may hold together (sac) like friends.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

sakhāyāv iva sacāvahā ava manyuṃ tanomi te adhas te aśmano manyum upāsyāmasi yo guruḥ

English · William Dwight Whitney

We (two) will hold together like friends; I relax thy fury; we cast in thy fury under a stone that is heavy.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

abhi tiṣṭhāmi te manyuṃ pārṣṇyā prapadena ca yathāvaśo na vādiṣo mama cittam upāyasi

English · William Dwight Whitney

I trample upon (abhi-sthā) thy fury, with heel and with front foot, that thou mayest speak not uncontrolled, mayest come unto my intent.
