Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·19·19.16
असपत्नं पुरस्तात् पश्चान् नो अभयं कृतम् । सविता मा दक्षिणत उत्तरान् मा शचीपतिः ॥१॥
asapatnaṃ purastāt paścān no abhayaṃ kṛtam | savitā mā dakṣiṇata uttarān mā śacīpatiḥ ||1||
Freedom from rivals in front, behind us [is] fearlessness made; Savitar [protect] me on the south, the lord of Çachī me on the north.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
दिवो मादित्या रक्षतु भूम्या रक्षन्त्व् अग्नयः । इन्द्राग्नी रक्षतां मा पुरस्ताद् अश्विनाव् अभितः शर्म यछताम् । तिरश्चीन् अघ्न्या रक्षतु जातवेदा भूतकृतो मे सर्वतः सन्तु वर्म ॥२॥
divo mādityā rakṣatu bhūmyā rakṣantv agnayaḥ | indrāgnī rakṣatāṃ mā purastād aśvināv abhitaḥ śarma yachatām | tiraścīn aghnyā rakṣatu jātavedā bhūtakṛto me sarvataḥ santu varma ||2||
From the sky let the Ādityas defend me; from the earth let the fires defend; let Indra-and-Agni defend me in front; let the Açvins yield (yam) refuge round about; crosswise let the inviolable [cow], let Jātavedas, defend [me]; let the being-makers be my defense (várman) on all sides.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
