Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·19·19.15
यत इन्द्र भयामहे ततो नो अभयं कृधि । मघवं छग्धि तव त्वं न ऊतिभिर् वि द्विषो वि मृधो जहि ॥१॥
yata indra bhayāmahe tato no abhayaṃ kṛdhi | maghavaṃ chagdhi tava tvaṃ na ūtibhir vi dviṣo vi mṛdho jahi ||1||
What we fear, O Indra, make thou fearlessness for us of it; O bounteous one, help (çak) that for us by thy aids; smite away haters, away scorners.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इन्द्रं वयम् अनूराधं हवामहे ऽनु राध्यास्म द्विपदा चतुष्पदा । मा नः सेना अररुषीर् उप गुर् विषूचिर् इन्द्र द्रुहो वि नाशय ॥२॥
indraṃ vayam anūrādhaṃ havāmahe 'nu rādhyāsma dvipadā catuṣpadā | mā naḥ senā araruṣīr upa gur viṣūcir indra druho vi nāśaya ||2||
Indra the success-giver do we invoke; may we be successful with biped, with quadruped; let not the niggardly armies come upon us; make the haters (drúh) disperse and disappear.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इन्द्रस् त्रातोत वृत्रहा परस्फानो वरेण्यः । स रक्षिता चरमतः स मध्यतः स पश्चात् स पुरस्तान् नो अस्तु ॥३॥
indras trātota vṛtrahā parasphāno vareṇyaḥ | sa rakṣitā caramataḥ sa madhyataḥ sa paścāt sa purastān no astu ||3||
Indra [is] rescuer and Vṛitra-slayer, our desirable far-and-wide protector (?); be he our defender at the extremities, he in the middle, he behind, he in front.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
उरुं नो लोकम् अनु नेषि विद्वान्त् स्वर् यज् ज्योतिर् अभयं स्वस्ति । उग्रा त इन्द्र स्थविरस्य बाहू उप क्षयेम शरणा बृहन्ता ॥४॥
uruṃ no lokam anu neṣi vidvānt svar yaj jyotir abhayaṃ svasti | ugrā ta indra sthavirasya bāhū upa kṣayema śaraṇā bṛhantā ||4||
Do thou, knowing, lead us toward broad space (loká), light that is heavenly (svàr), fearlessness, well-being; may we dwell under the formidable arms of thee the stout one, O Indra, [those two] great refuges.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अभयं नः करत्य् अन्तरिक्षम् अभयं द्यावापृथिवी उभे इमे । अभयं पश्चाद् अभयं पुरस्ताद् उत्तराद् अधराद् अभयं नो अस्तु ॥५॥
abhayaṃ naḥ karaty antarikṣam abhayaṃ dyāvāpṛthivī ubhe ime | abhayaṃ paścād abhayaṃ purastād uttarād adharād abhayaṃ no astu ||5||
May the atmosphere make for us fearlessness; fearlessness both heaven-and-earth here; fearlessness from behind, fearlessness from in front; from above, from below be there fearlessness for us.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अभयं मित्राद् अभयम् अमित्राद् अभयं ज्ञाताद् अभयं पुरो यः । अभयं नक्तम् अभयं दिवा नः सर्वा आशा मम मित्रं भवन्तु ॥६॥
abhayaṃ mitrād abhayam amitrād abhayaṃ jñātād abhayaṃ puro yaḥ | abhayaṃ naktam abhayaṃ divā naḥ sarvā āśā mama mitraṃ bhavantu ||6||
Fearlessness from friend, fearlessness from enemy, fearlessness from one known, fearlessness [from one] that is away; fearlessness for us by night, fearlessness by day; be all places my friend.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
