Atharva Veda
Against worms
udyann ādityaḥ krimīn hantu nimrocan hantu raśmibhiḥ ye antaḥ krimayo gavi
Against worms
Let the sun (ādityá), rising, smite the worms; setting, let him smite [them] with his rays—the worms that are within the cow.
viśvarūpaṃ caturakṣaṃ krimiṃ sāraṅgam arjunam śṛṇāmy asya pṛṣṭīr api vṛścāmi yacchiraḥ
The worm of all forms, the four-eyed, the variegated, the whitish—I crush (çṛ) the ribs of it; I hew at (api-vraçc) what is its head.
atrivad vaḥ krimayo hanmi kaṇvavaj jamadagnivat agastyasya brahmaṇā saṃ pinaṣmy ahaṃ krimīn
Like Atri I slay you, O worms, like Kaṇva, like Jamadagni; with the incantation of Agastya I mash together the worms.
hato rājā krimīṇām utaiṣāṃ sthapatir hataḥ hato hatamātā krimir hatabhrātā hatasvasā
Slain is the king of the worms, also the chief (sthapáti) of them is slain; slain is the worm, having its mother slain, its brother slain, its sister slain.
hatāso asya veśaso hatāsaḥ pariveśasaḥ atho ye kṣullakā iva sarve te krimayo hatāḥ
Slain are its neighbors (? veçás), slain its further neighbors (? páriveças), also those that are petty (kṣullaká), as it were—all those worms are slain.
pra te śṛṇāmi śṛṅge yābhyāṃ vitudāyasi bhinādmi te kuṣumbhaṃ yas te viṣadhānaḥ
I crush up (pra-çṛ) thy (two) horns, with which thou thrustest; I split thy receptacle (?), which is thy poison-holder.
