Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1May Heaven and Earth, wise pair, may lofty Sukra grant me
this thing by reason of the guerdon.
May Agni, Soma mark through this libation: may Vāyu,
Savitar, and Bhaga guard us.
2Again return to us our breath and spirit, again come back to us
our life and vision!
Vaisvānara, unscathed, our bodies' guardian, stand between us
and every woe and danger!
3We are again united with our bodies, with happy mind, with
spirit, strength, and splendour. p. a225
May Tvashtar here make room for us, and freedom and smooth
whate'er is injured in our bodies.
