Atharva Veda 3.28

ekaikayaiṣā sṛṣṭyā saṃ babhūva yatra gā asṛjanta bhūtakṛto viśvarūpāḥ yatra vijāyate yaminy apartuḥ sā paśūn kṣiṇāti riphatī ruśatī

To avert the ill omen of a twinning animal

She herself came into being by a one-by-one creation, where the being-makers created the kine of all forms; where the twinning [cow] gives birth, out of season, she destroys the cattle, snarling, angry.

eṣā paśūnt saṃ kṣiṇāti kravyād bhūtvā vyadvarī utaināṃ brahmaṇe dadyāt tathā syonā śivā syāt

She quite destroys the cattle, becoming a flesh-eater, devourer (? vy-ádvarī); also one should give her to a priest (brahmán); so would she be pleasant, propitious.

śivā bhava puruṣebhyo gobhyo aśvebhyaḥ śivā śivāsmai sarvasmai kṣetrāya śivā na ihaidhi

Be thou propitious to men (púruṣa), propitious to kine, to horses, propitious to all this field (kṣétra); be propitious to us here.

iha puṣṭir iha rasa iha sahasrasātamā bhava paśūn yamini poṣaya

Here prosperity, here sap—here be thou best winner of a thousand; make the cattle prosper, O twinning one.

yatrā suhārdaḥ sukṛto madanti vihāya rogaṃ tanvaḥ svāyāḥ taṃ lokaṃ yaminy abhisaṃbabhūva sā no mā hiṃsīt puruṣān paśūṃś ca

Where the good-hearted [and] well-doing revel, quitting disease of their own body—into that world hath the twinning one come into being; let her not injure our men and cattle.

yatrā suhārdāṃ sukṛtām agnihotrahutām yatra lokaḥ taṃ lokaṃ yaminy abhisaṃbabhūva sā no mā hiṃsīt puruṣān paśūṃś ca

Where is the world of the good-hearted, of the well-doing, where of them that offer the fire-offering (agnihotrá-)—into that world hath the twinning one come into being; let her not injure our men and cattle.
