Atharva Veda
For protection: to many gods
yamo mṛtyur aghamāro nirṛtho babhruḥ śarvo 'stā nīlaśikhaṇḍaḥ devajanāḥ senayottasthivāṃsas te asmākaṃ pari vṛñjantu vīrān
For protection: to many gods
Yama, death, the evil-killer, the destroyer, the brown Çarva, the blue-locked archer, the god-folk that have arisen with their army—let them avoid our heroes.
manasā homair harasā ghṛtena śarvāyāstra uta rājñe bhavāya namasyebhyo nama ebhyaḥ kṛṇomy anyatrāsmad aghaviṣā nayantu
With mind, with libations, with flame (? háras), with ghee, unto the archer Çarva and unto king Bhava—to them (pl.), who are deserving of homage, I pay homage; let them conduct those of evil poison away from us.
trāyadhvaṃ no aghaviṣābhyo vadhād viśve devā maruto viśvavedasaḥ agnīṣomā varuṇaḥ pūtadakṣā vātāparjanyayoḥ sumatau syāma
Save ye us from them of evil poison, from the deadly weapon, O all ye gods, ye all-possessing Maruts; Agni-and-Soma, Varuṇa of purified skill; may we be in the favor of Vāta-and-Parjanya.
