Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at
1Here may we dwell, O Heaven and Earth, in safety. May Savitar
and Soma send us safety.
Our safety be the wide air: ours be safety through the oblation
of the Seven Rishis. p. a218
2May the Four Quarters give this hamlet power: Savitar favour
us and make us happy!
May Indra make us free from foes and danger: may wrath of
Kings be turned to other places.
3Make thou us free from enemies both from below and from
above.
O Indra, give us perfect peace, peace from behind and from be-
fore.
