Atharva Veda 6.32: A charm against fiends and goblins

With butter, in his hall v4here fire is burning, perform that sacri-fice which quells the goblins.
Burn from afar against the demons Agni! Afflict not in thy fury us who praise thee.

Let Rudra break your necks, O ye Pisāchas, and split your ribs asunder, Yātudhānas!
Your herb of universal power with Yama hath allied itself.

Here, Mitra-Varuna! may we dwell safely: with splendour drive the greedy demons backward, Let them not find a surety or a refuge, but torn away go down to Death together.
