Atharva Veda 7.34: A prayer for freedom from sin and the overthrow of enemies
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Agni, drive off my rivals born and living, repel those yet unborn, O Jātavedas.
Cast down beneath my feet mine adversaries. In Aditi's regard may we be sinless.
