For various blessings

The many paths, traveled by the gods, that go between heaven-and-earth—whichever of them shall carry [one] to unscathedness, to that one, O gods, do ye all here give me over.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

grīṣmo hemantaḥ śiśiro vasantaḥ śarad varṣāḥ svite no dadhāta ā no goṣu bhajatā prajāyāṃ nivāta id vaḥ śaraṇe syāma

Hot season, winter, cool season, spring, autumn, rains—do ye set us in welfare (svitá); portion ye us in kine, in progeny; may we verily be in your windless shelter.

Unto the idā-year, the pari-year, the sam-year, pay ye great homage; may we be in the favor of these worshipful ones, likewise in their auspicious well-willing.
