Atharva Veda 7.60: A parting traveller's address to the houses of his village

I, prudent, bringing power, a treasure-winner, with amicable eye that strikes no terror, Come, praising and kind-thoughted, to these houses: be not afraid of me, be glad and joyful.

Let these delightful Houses that are rich in power and store of milk, Replete with wealth and standing firm, become aware of our approach.

These Houses we invoke, whereon the distant exile sets his thought, Wherein dwells many a friendly heart: let them beware of our approach.

Thus greeted, ye of ample wealth, friends who enjoy delightful sweets.
Be ever free from hunger, free from thirst! Ye Houses, fear us not.

Kind greeting to the cattle here, kind greeting to the goats and sheep!
Then, of the food within our homes, kind greeting to the plea-sant drink!

Full of refreshment, full of charms, of laughter and felicity, Be ever free from hunger, free from thirst! Ye Houses, fear us not.
Stay here, and come not after me: prosper in every form and shape.
With happy fortune will I come! Grow more abundant still through me!
