Atharva Veda 19.36

With a çatávāra-amulet: for protection etc

The çatávāra hath by its keenness (téjas) made to vanish the yákṣmas, the demons, mounting together with splendor, an amulet that expels the ill-named.

With its two horns it thrusts away the demon, with its root the sorceresses; with its middle it drives off (bādh) the yákṣma; no evil overpasses it.

The yákṣmas that are petty, and they that are great, noisy—all of them the çatávāra amulet, slayer of the ill-named, hath made vanish.

A hundred heroes it generated; a hundred yákṣmas it scattered away; having slain all the ill-named ones, it shakes down the demons.

A golden-horned bull [is] this amulet of çatávāra; having shattered (tṛh) all the ill-named ones, it hath trodden down the demons.

With the çatávāra I ward off (vāraya-) a hundred of the ill-named ones (f.), a hundred of the Gandharvas-and-Apsarases, and a hundred of the doglike ones (f.).
