Atharva Veda
Against worms
indrasya yā mahī dṛṣat krimer viśvasya tarhaṇī tayā pinaṣmi saṃ krimīn dṛṣadā khalvāṁ iva
Against worms
The great mill-stone that is Indra's, bruiser (tárhaṇa) of every worm—with that I mash (piṣ) together the worms, as khálva-grains with a mill-stone.
dṛṣṭam adṛṣṭam atṛham atho kurūrum atṛham algaṇḍūnt sarvān śalunān krimīn vacasā jambhayāmasi
The seen, the unseen one have I bruised, also the kurū́ru have I bruised; all the algáṇḍus, the çalúnas, the worms we grind up with our spell (vácas).
algaṇḍūn hanmi mahatā vadhena dūnā adūnā arasā abhūvan śiṣṭān aśiṣṭān ni tirāmi vācā yathā krimīṇāṃ nakir ucchiṣātai
I smite the algáṇḍus with a great deadly weapon; burnt [or] unburnt, they have become sapless; those left [or] not left I draw down by my spell (vā́c), that no one of the worms be left.
anvāntryaṃ śīrṣaṇyam atho pārṣṭeyaṃ krimīn avaskavaṃ vyadhvaraṃ krimīn vacasā jambhayāmasi
The one along the entrails, the one in the head, likewise the worm in the ribs, the avaskavá, the vyadhvará—the worms we grind up with our spell (vácas).
ye krimayaḥ parvateṣu vaneṣv oṣadhīṣu paśuṣv apsv antaḥ ye asmākaṃ tanvam āviviśuḥ sarvaṃ taddhanmi janima krimīṇām
The worms that are in the mountains, in the woods, in the herbs, in the cattle, within the waters, that have entered our selves (tanū́)—that whole generation (jåniman) of worms I smite.
