Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at

HYMN LXXV

A charm to effect the removal of an enemy

1Forth from his dwelling drive that man, the foeman who
  assaileth us:
 Through the Expellent sacrifice hath Indra rent and mangled
  him.
2Indra, Foe-Slayer, drive him forth into the distance most
  remote,
 Whence never more shall be return in all the years that are to
  come.
3To the three distances, beyond mankind's Five Races, let him go,
 Beyond the three skies let him go, whence he shall never come-
  again
 In all the years that are to be, long as the Sun is in the heaven.
