Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 19.35

इन्द्रस्य नाम गृह्णन्त ऋसयो जङ्गिदं ददुः । देवा यं चक्रुर् भेषजम् अग्रे विष्कन्धदूषणम् ॥१॥

indrasya nāma gṛhṇanta ṛsayo jaṅgidaṃ daduḥ | devā yaṃ cakrur bheṣajam agre viṣkandhadūṣaṇam ||1||

Taking (grah) the name of Indra, the seers gave the jan̄giḍá, which the gods in the beginning made a remedy, spoiler of the víṣkandha.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

स नो रक्षतु जङ्गिडो धनपालो धनेव । देवा यं चक्रुर् ब्राह्मणाः परिपाणम् अरातिहम् ॥२॥

sa no rakṣatu jaṅgiḍo dhanapālo dhaneva | devā yaṃ cakrur brāhmaṇāḥ paripāṇam arātiham ||2||

Let that jan̄giḍá defend us, as a protector of riches his riches; which ⌊ jan̄giḍá ⌋ the gods, the Brahmans, made a protector round about, slayer of niggards.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

दुर्हार्दः संघोरं चक्षुः पापकृत्वानम् आगमम् । तांस् त्वं सहस्रचक्षो प्रतीबोधेन नाशय परिपाणो ऽसि जङ्गिडः ॥३॥

durhārdaḥ saṃghoraṃ cakṣuḥ pāpakṛtvānam āgamam | tāṃs tvaṃ sahasracakṣo pratībodhena nāśaya paripāṇo 'si jaṅgiḍaḥ ||3||

The enemy of terrible aspect (-cákṣús), the evil-doer that has come—them do thou, O thousand-eyed one, make to vanish by thy watchfulness (? pratībodhá); thou art jan̄giḍá that protects round about.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

परि मा दिवः परि मा पृथिव्याः पर्य् अन्तरिक्षात् परि मा वीरुद्भ्यः । परि मा भूतात् परि मोत भव्याद् दिशोदिशो जङ्गिडः पात्व् अस्मान् ॥४॥

pari mā divaḥ pari mā pṛthivyāḥ pary antarikṣāt pari mā vīrudbhyaḥ | pari mā bhūtāt pari mota bhavyād diśodiśo jaṅgiḍaḥ pātv asmān ||4||

Me from the sky, me from the earth, from the atmosphere, me from the plants, me from what is, and me from what is to be—from every direction let the jan̄giḍá protect us about.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

य ऋष्णवो देवकृता य उतो ववृते ऽन्यः । सर्वां स्तान् विश्वभेषजो ऽरसां जङ्गिडस् करत् ॥५॥

ya ṛṣṇavo devakṛtā ya uto vavṛte 'nyaḥ | sarvāṃ stān viśvabheṣajo 'rasāṃ jaṅgiḍas karat ||5||

What [witchcraft-]workers are made by the gods, and also what from mortals—all those may the all-healing jan̄giḍá make sapless.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
