Atharva Veda 7.52: A prayer for peace and concord
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Give us agreement with our own, with strangers give us unity: Do ye, O Asvins, in this place join us in sympathy and love.
May we agree in mind, agree in purpose: let us not fight against the heavenly spirit.
Around us rise no din of frequent slaughter, nor Indra's arrow fly, for day is present!
