Atharva Veda 7.70

1
English · William Dwight Whitney

Whatsoever he yonder offers with mind, and what with voice, with sacrifices, with oblation, with sacred formula (yájus), that let perdition, in concord with death, smite, his offering, before it comes true.

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

The sorcerers, perdition, also the demon—let them smite his truth with untruth; let the gods, sent by Indra, disturb (math) his sacrificial butter; let not that meet with success which he yonder offers.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

Let the two speedy over-kings, like two falcons flying together, smite the sacrificial butter of the foeman, whosoever shows malice against us.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

Turned away [are] both thine arms; I fasten up thy mouth; with the fury of divine Agni—therewith have I smitten thine oblation.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

I fasten back thine arms; I fasten up thy mouth; with the fury of terrible Agni—therewith have I smitten thine oblation.
