Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.2.12

AVŚ 8.2.12

आराद् अरातिं निरृतिं परो ग्राहिं क्रव्यादः पिशाचान् । रक्षो यत् सर्वं दुर्भूतं तत् तम इवाप हन्मसि ॥१२॥

ārād arātiṃ nirṛtiṃ paro grāhiṃ kravyādaḥ piśācān | rakṣo yat sarvaṃ durbhūtaṃ tat tama ivāpa hanmasi ||12||

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

Afar niggardliness, perdition, away seizure (grā́hi), the flesh-eating piçācás, every demon that is of evil nature—that we smite away, as it were into darkness.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
