Atharva Veda 6.107: A charm to protect men and cattle
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Entrust me, Visvajit, to Trāyamānā.
Guard, Trāyamānā, all our men, guard all our wealth of quadrupeds.
To Visvajit entrust me, Trāyamānā.
O Visvajit, guard all our men, etc.
To Visvajit entrust me, O Kalyāni.
Guard, O Kalyāni, all our men, etc.
To Sarvavid entrust me, O Kalyāni.
O Sarvavid, guard all our men, guard all our wealth of quadrupeds.
