Atharvaveda 19.57

19.57.1

yáthā kalā́ṃ yáthā śapháṃ yáthā rṇáṃ samnáyanti |
evā́ duṣvápnyaṃ sárvam ápriye sáṃ nayāmasi ||1||

As a sixteenth, as an eighth, as a [whole] debt they bring together, so do we bring together all evil-dreaming on one who is offensive (ápriya).

19.57.2

sáṃ rā́jāno aguḥ sám r̥ṇā́my aguḥ sáṃ kuṣṭhā́ aguḥ sáṃ kalā́ aguḥ |
sám asmā́su yád duṣvápnyaṃ nír dviṣaté duṣvápnyaṃ suvāma ||2||

Kings have gathered (sam-gā), debts have gathered, kuṣṭhás have gathered, sixteenths have gathered; all evil-dreaming that is in us—let us impel away evil-dreaming to him that hates us.

19.57.3

dévānāṃ patnīnāṃ garbha yámasya kara yó bhadráḥ svapna |
sá máma yáḥ pāpás tád dviṣaté prá hiṇmaḥ |
mā́ tr̥ṣṭā́nām asi kr̥ṣṇaśakunér múkham ||3||

Embryo of the wives of the gods, instrument of Yama, excellent dream; the evil [dream] that is mine, that do we send forth to him that hates us.

Thee that art "harsh" by name, mouth of the black bird (-çakúni)—thee, O sleep, we thus know completely; do thou, O sleep, as a horse a halter, as a horse a girth, scatter him who is not of us, the god-reviler, the mocker.

19.57.4

táṃ tvā svapna táthā sáṃ vidma sá tváṃ svapnā́śva iva kāyám áśva iva nīnāhám |
anāsmākáṃ devapīyúṃ píyāruṃ vapa yád asmā́su duṣvápnyaṃ yád góṣu yác ca no gr̥hé ||4||

Thee that art "harsh" by name, mouth of the black bird (-çakúni)—thee, O sleep, we thus know completely; do thou, O sleep, as a horse a halter, as a horse a girth, scatter him who is not of us, the god-reviler, the mocker.

What evil-dreaming is in us, what in our kine, and what in our house, that let him who is not of us, the god-reviler, the mocker, put on like a necklace (niṣká).

19.57.5

anāsmākás tád devapīyúḥ píyārur niṣkám iva práti muñcatām |
návāratnī́n ápamayā asmā́kaṃ tátaḥ pári |
duṣvápnyaṃ sárvaṃ dviṣaté nír dayāmasi ||5||

Having measured off nine cubits, forth from that do we divide off to him who hates us all our evil-dreaming.

What evil-dreaming is in us, what in our kine, and what in our house, that let him who is not of us, the god-reviler, the mocker, put on like a necklace (niṣká).
