Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 11.2.1

AVŚ 11.2.1

भवाशर्वौ मृडतं माभि यातं भूतपती पशुपती नमो वाम् । प्रतिहिताम् आयतां मा वि स्राष्टं मा नो हिंसिष्टं द्विपदो मा चतुष्पदः ॥१॥

bhavāśarvau mṛḍataṃ mābhi yātaṃ bhūtapatī paśupatī namo vām | pratihitām āyatāṃ mā vi srāṣṭaṃ mā no hiṃsiṣṭaṃ dvipado mā catuṣpadaḥ ||1||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

O Bhava-and-Çarva, be gracious; do not go against [us]; ye lords of beings, lords of cattle, homage to you! [the arrow] that is fitted, that is drawn, do not let fly; do not harm our bipeds nor quadrupeds.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
