Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.93
यमो मृत्युर् अघमारो निरृथो बभ्रुः शर्वो ऽस्ता नीलशिखण्डः । देवजनाः सेनयोत्तस्थिवांसस् ते अस्माकं परि वृञ्जन्तु वीरान् ॥१॥
yamo mṛtyur aghamāro nirṛtho babhruḥ śarvo 'stā nīlaśikhaṇḍaḥ | devajanāḥ senayottasthivāṃsas te asmākaṃ pari vṛñjantu vīrān ||1||
Yama, death, the evil-killer, the destroyer, the brown Çarva, the blue-locked archer, the god-folk that have arisen with their army—let them avoid our heroes.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
मनसा होमैर् हरसा घृतेन शर्वायास्त्र उत राज्ञे भवाय । नमस्येभ्यो नम एभ्यः कृणोम्य् अन्यत्रास्मद् अघविषा नयन्तु ॥२॥
manasā homair harasā ghṛtena śarvāyāstra uta rājñe bhavāya | namasyebhyo nama ebhyaḥ kṛṇomy anyatrāsmad aghaviṣā nayantu ||2||
With mind, with libations, with flame (? háras), with ghee, unto the archer Çarva and unto king Bhava—to them (pl.), who are deserving of homage, I pay homage; let them conduct those of evil poison away from us.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
त्रायध्वं नो अघविषाभ्यो वधाद् विश्वे देवा मरुतो विश्ववेदसः । अग्नीषोमा वरुणः पूतदक्षा वातापर्जन्ययोः सुमतौ स्याम ॥३॥
trāyadhvaṃ no aghaviṣābhyo vadhād viśve devā maruto viśvavedasaḥ | agnīṣomā varuṇaḥ pūtadakṣā vātāparjanyayoḥ sumatau syāma ||3||
Save ye us from them of evil poison, from the deadly weapon, O all ye gods, ye all-possessing Maruts; Agni-and-Soma, Varuṇa of purified skill; may we be in the favor of Vāta-and-Parjanya.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
