Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·1·1.19
मा नो विदन् विव्याधिनो मो अभिव्याधिनो विदन् । आराच् छरव्या अस्मद् विषूचीर् इन्द्र पातय ॥१॥
mā no vidan vivyādhino mo abhivyādhino vidan | ārāc charavyā asmad viṣūcīr indra pātaya ||1||
Let not the piercers find us, nor let the penetraters find [us]; far from us make the volleys (çaravyā̀) fly, dispersing, O Indra.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
विष्वञ्चो अस्मच् छरवः पतन्तु ये अस्ता ये चास्याः । दैवीर् मनुष्येसवो ममामित्रान् वि विध्यत ॥२॥
viṣvañco asmac charavaḥ patantu ye astā ye cāsyāḥ | daivīr manuṣyesavo mamāmitrān vi vidhyata ||2||
Dispersing from us let the shafts fly, those that are hurled and that are to be hurled; ye divine arrows of men (manuṣyà-), pierce my enemies.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यो नः स्वो यो अरणः सजात उत निष्ट्यो यो अस्मां अभिदासति । रुद्रः शरव्ययैतान् ममामित्रान् वि विध्यतु ॥३॥
yo naḥ svo yo araṇaḥ sajāta uta niṣṭyo yo asmāṃ abhidāsati | rudraḥ śaravyayaitān mamāmitrān vi vidhyatu ||3||
Whether one of our own or whether a stranger, fellow or outsider, whoso assails (abhi-dās) us—let Rudra with a volley pierce those my enemies.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यः सपत्नो यो ऽसपत्नो यश् च द्विषन् छपाति नः । देवास् तं सर्वे धूर्वन्तु ब्रह्म वर्म ममान्तरम् ॥४॥
yaḥ sapatno yo 'sapatno yaś ca dviṣan chapāti naḥ | devās taṃ sarve dhūrvantu brahma varma mamāntaram ||4||
Whatever rival (sapátna), whatever non-rival, and whatever hater shall curse us, him let all the gods damage (dhūrv); incantation (bráhman) is my inner defense.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
