pra patetaḥ pāpi lakṣmi naśyetaḥ prāmutaḥ pata ayasmayenāṅkena dviṣate tvā sajāmasi
Fly forth from here, O evil sign (lakṣmī́); disappear from here; fly forth from yonder; with a hook of metal (ayasmáya) we attach thee to him that hates [us].
Atharva Veda
pra patetaḥ pāpi lakṣmi naśyetaḥ prāmutaḥ pata ayasmayenāṅkena dviṣate tvā sajāmasi
Fly forth from here, O evil sign (lakṣmī́); disappear from here; fly forth from yonder; with a hook of metal (ayasmáya) we attach thee to him that hates [us].
yā mā lakṣmīḥ patayālūr ajuṣṭābhicaskanda vandaneva vṛkṣam anyatrāsmat savitas tām ito dhā hiraṇyahasto vasu no rarāṇaḥ
The unenjoyable flying sign that hath mounted me, as a creeper a tree—that, O Savitar, mayest thou put hence elsewhere than on us, being golden-handed, granting good to us.
ekaśataṃ lakṣmyo martyasya sākaṃ tanvā januṣo 'dhi jātāḥ tāsāṃ pāpiṣṭhā nir itaḥ pra hiṇmaḥ śivā asmabhyaṃ jātavedo niyaccha
A hundred and one [are] the signs of a mortal, born from his birth together with his body; the worst of these we send forth out from here; to us, O Jātavedas, confirm propitious ones.
etā enā vyākaraṃ khile gā viṣṭhitā iva ramantāṃ puṇyā lakṣmīr yāḥ pāpīs tā anīnaśam
These same have I separated, like kine scattered on a barren (khilá); let the good (púṇya) signs stay; those that are evil have I made disappear.
