Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1Guard us the Maruts! Guard us well, O Indra, Piishan, Aditi.
Guard us, O Waters' Child, and Rivers Seven. May Vishnu
guard us, and the Sky. p. a200
2May Heaven and Earth take care of us for victory, may Pressing-
Stone and Soma save us from distress.
Sarasvati, auspicious Goddess, guard us well: preserve us Agni
and his kind protecting powers.
3Preserve us both the Asvins, Gods and Lords of Light, and let
the Dawns and Night bring us deliverance.
The Waters' Child protect our house from every harm. Do thou,
God Tvashtar, make us strong for health and wealth.
