Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1May Tvashtar, Brāhmanaspati, Parjanya hear my holy prayer.
May Aditi with all her sons, the brothers, guard us, invincible,
protecting power.
2May Ansa, Bhaga, Varuna, and Mitra, Aryaman, Aditi, and
Maruts guard us.
May we be freed from that oppressor's hatred. May he keep
off that foeman who is near us.
3May both the Asvins further our devotion. With ceaseless care
deliver us, Wide-Ranger! O Father Heaven, keep from us all
misfortunes.
