Atharva Veda 1.22: A charm against jaundice

As the Sun rises, let thy sore disease and yellowness depart.
We compass and surround thee with the colour of a ruddy ox.

With ruddy hues we compass thee that thou mayst live a leng-thened life: So that this man be free from harm, and cast his yellow tint away.

Devatyās that are red of hue, yea, and the ruddy-coloured kine, Each several form, each several force—with these we compass thee about.

To parrots and to starlings we transfer thy sickly yellowness: Now in the yellow-coloured birds we lay this yellowness of thine.
