Atharva Veda 1.8

To Agni and other gods: for the discovery of sorcerers

This oblation shall bring the sorcerers, as a stream does the foam; whoever, woman [or] man, hath done this, here let that person speak out.

This man hath come, speaking out; this man do ye welcome; O Brihaspati, taking [him] into thy control—O Agni and Soma, do ye (two) pierce [him] through.

Of the sorcerer, O soma-drinker, slay the progeny and conduct [him hither]; of him, speaking out, make fall out (nis-pat) the upper eye and the lower.

Wherever, O Agni, thou knowest the births of them, of the devourers that are in secret, O Jātavedas, them do thou, increasing through worship (bráhman)—slay of them, O Agni, with hundredfold transfixion.
