Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at
1Whoso by stealth or openly would harm us, a friend who knows
us, or a stranger, Agni!
May the strange she-fiend armed with teeth attack them: O
Agni, theirs be neither home nor children!
2Whoso oppresseth us O Jātavedas, asleep or waking, standing
still or moving.
Accordant with Vaisvānara thy comrade, O Jātavedas, meet
them and consume them.
