- Matched to this passage
- Confirmed. The text the source says this recording recites matches this corpus's text for this passage.
- The line behind the control
- An accent trace: one turn for each of the 5 accent marks printed in this verse, a mark above the letter turning the line up and a mark below turning it down. It is derived from the text on this page and from nothing else. It is not measured pitch, not a reconstructed melody, and not a timing of the recording: the playhead moves across it because both run left to right, and no syllable is claimed to align with any moment of the audio.

- How it was matched
- Re-mapped after correcting the source's Atharvaveda hymn division, which the original coordinate transform did not model. kanda 11: the source splits our 56-verse paryaya hymn 11.3 across source suktas 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5, so our sukta number runs 2 behind the source's from our 11.4 onward (our 11.10 is the source's 11.12). Our key 11.10.16 therefore corresponds to the source's 11.12.16, not to its 11.10.16. the source verse at 11.12.16 recites text letter-identical to this mantra and is the only unclaimed audio-bearing source verse in the whole 5,916-row Atharvaveda that does. The whole hymn's verses map into one source chapter in preserved order, which is the structural corroboration that the correspondence is the edition's and not this row's.

Let Vāyu bend up the arrow-points of the enemies; let Indra break back their arms; let them not be able to set the arrow; let Āditya make their missile weapon (''astrá'') disappear; let the moon put (''yu'') them on the track of what is not gone.VG:AV:SAU:K11:S010:V016cited as AVS 11.10.16
