Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 6 — Chapter 42

AV 6 42.1

अव ज्याम् इव धन्वनो मन्युं तनोमि ते हृदः । यथा संमनसौ भूत्वा सखायाव् इव सचावहै

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

As (one unstrings) the bowstring from the bow, so I slacken the wrath of your heart, so that, having become of one mind, we two may keep company like friends.

सखायाव् इव सचावहा अव मन्युं तनोमि ते । अधस् ते अश्मनो मन्युम् उपास्यामसि यो गुरुः

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

Like two friends let us keep company; I slacken your wrath; we cast down your wrath beneath a stone, (the wrath) that is heavy.

AV 6 42.3

अभि तिष्ठामि ते मन्युं पार्ष्ण्या प्रपदेन च । यथावशो न वादिषो मम चित्तम् उपायसि

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

I tread upon your wrath with heel and with fore-foot, so that, without will of your own, you shall not speak, (but) shall come round to my mind.
