Atharva Veda 19.27

For protection etc.: with a triple amulet

Let the bull (ṛṣabhá) protect thee with the kine; let the virile one (vṛ́ṣan) protect thee with the vigorous ones (vājín); let Vāyu protect thee with bráhman; let Indra protect thee with Indra's powers (? indriyá).

Let Soma protect thee with the herbs; let the sun protect with the asterisms; [let] the moon, Vṛitra-slayer, [protect] ⌊thee⌋ from the months; let the wind defend with breath.

They call the heavens (dív) three, the earths three, the atmospheres three, the oceans four, the song of praise (stóma) triple, the waters triple: let these triple ones defend thee with the triple ones.

The three firmaments (nā́ka), the three oceans, the three bright ones (bradhná), the three at the summit (? vāiṣṭapá), the three Mātariçvans, the three suns, do I arrange (kḷp) as thy guardians.

With ghee do I sprinkle thee all over, O Agni, increasing thee with sacrificial butter; of fire, of moon, of sun, let not the wily ones damage the breath.

Let not the wily ones damage your breath, nor your expiration nor flame (? háras); shining, all-possessing, run ye, O gods, with what is of the gods.

One unites Agni with breath; the wind is combined with breath; with breath the gods generated the sun that faces all ways. ⌊See p. xxxvi, n.⌋

Live thou with the life-time of the life-time-makers; live as one long-lived; do not die; live with the breath of the soulful (ātmanvánt); do not come under the control of death.

The treasured (ni-dhā) treasure of the gods that Indra discovered by roads that the gods travel—the gold did the waters guard with triple ones; let those triple ones defend thee with the triple ones.

Thirty-three deities and three heroisms guarded [it] within the waters, holding [it] dear; what gold there is upon this shining one (? candrá), therewith shall this man do heroisms.

Ye, O gods, that are eleven in the sky, do ye, O gods, enjoy this oblation.

Ye, O gods, that are eleven in the atmosphere, do ye, O gods, enjoy this oblation.

Ye, O gods, that are eleven on the earth, do ye, O gods, enjoy this oblation.

Freedom from rivals in front, behind us [is] fearlessness made; Savitar [protect] me on the south, the lord of Çachī me on the north.

From the sky let the Ādityas defend me, from the earth let the fires defend; let Indra-and-Agni defend me in front; let the Açvins yield refuge round about; crosswise let the inviolable [cow], let Jātavedas, defend [me]; let the being-makers be my defense on all sides.
