Atharva Veda
⌊Against such as would thwart my incantations.⌋
dyāvāpṛthivī urv antarikṣaṃ kṣetrasya patny urugāyo 'dbhutaḥ utāntarikṣam uru vātagopaṃ ta iha tapyantāṃ mayi tapyamāne
⌊Against such as would thwart my incantations.⌋
Heaven-and-earth, the wide atmosphere, the mistress of the field, the wonderful wide-going one, and the wide wind-guarded atmosphere—let these be inflamed (tapya-) here while I am inflamed.
idaṃ devāḥ śṛṇuta ye yajñiyā stha bharadvājo mahyam ukthāni śaṃsati pāśe sa baddho durite ni yujyatāṃ yo asmākaṃ mana idaṃ hinasti
Hear this, O ye gods that are worshipful (yajñíya); Bharadvāja sings (çaṅs) hymns (ukthá) for me; let him, bound in a fetter, be plunged (ni-yuj) in difficulty who injures this our mind.
idam indra śṛṇuhi somapa yat tvā hṛdā śocatā johavīmi vṛścāmi taṃ kuliśeneva vṛkṣaṃ yo asmākaṃ mana idaṃ hinasti
Hear this, O Indra, soma-drinker, as I call loudly to thee with a burning (çuc) heart; I hew (vraçc) him [down], as a tree with an ax, who injures this our mind.
aśītibhis tisṛbhiḥ sāmagebhir ādityebhir vasubhir aṅgirobhiḥ iṣṭāpūrtam avatu naḥ pitṝṇām āmuṃ dade harasā daivyena
With thrice eighty sā́man-singers, with the Ādityas, the Vasus, the Angirases—let what is sacrificed-and-bestowed of the Fathers aid us—I take yon man with seizure (háras) of the gods.
dyāvāpṛthivī anu mā dīdhīthāṃ viśve devāso anu mā rabhadhvam aṅgirasaḥ pitaraḥ somyāsaḥ pāpam ā ṛcchatv apakāmasya kartā
O heaven-and-earth, attend (ā-dīdhī) ye after me; O all ye gods, take ye hold (ā-rabh) after me; O Angirases, Fathers, soma-feasting (somyá), let the doer of abhorrence (apakāmá) meet with (ā-ṛ) evil.
atīva yo maruto manyate no brahma vā yo nindiṣat kriyamāṇam tapūṃṣi tasmai vṛjināni santu brahmadviṣaṃ dyaur abhisaṃtapāti
Whoso, O Maruts, thinks himself above us, or whoso shall revile our incantation (bráhman) that is being performed—for him let his wrongdoings be burnings (tápus); the sky shall concentrate its heat (sam-tap) upon the bráhman-hater.
sapta prāṇān aṣṭau majjñas tāṃs te vṛścāmi brahmaṇā ayā yamasya sādanam agnidūto araṃkṛtaḥ
Seven breaths, eight marrows: them I hew [off] for thee with [my] incantation; thou shalt go to Yama's seat, messengered by Agni, made satisfactory.
ā dadhāmi te padaṃ samiddhe jātavedasi agniḥ śarīraṃ veveṣṭv asuṃ vāg api gacchatu
I set thy track in kindled Jātavedas; let Agni dispose of (? viṣ) the body; let speech go unto breath (? ásu).
