Atharva Veda
With the first two upper teeth of a child
yau vyāghrāv avarūḍhau jighatsataḥ pitaraṃ mātaraṃ ca tau dantau brahmaṇaspate śivau kṛṇu jātavedaḥ
With the first two upper teeth of a child
The (two) tigers that, having grown down, desire to devour father and mother—those (two) teeth, O Brahmaṇaspati, make thou propitious, O Jātavedas.
vrīhim attaṃ yavam attam atho māṣam atho tilam eṣa vāṃ bhāgo nihito ratnadheyāya dantau mā hiṃsiṣṭaṃ pitaram mātaraṃ ca
Eat ye (two) rice; eat ye barley; then beans, then sesame; this is your deposited (níhita) portion for treasuring, ye (two) teeth; do not injure father and mother.
upahūtau sayujau syonau dantau sumaṅgalau anyatra vāṃ ghoraṃ tanvaḥ paraitu dantau mā hiṃsiṣṭaṃ pitaraṃ mātaraṃ ca
Invoked [are] the two conjoint, pleasant, very propitious teeth; let what is terrible of your selves (tanū́) go away elsewhere, ye teeth; do not injure father and mother.
