Atharva Veda 19.51: A sacrificial formula
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895–96) · From The Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (1895–96)
Undisturbed am I, undisturbed is my soul, undisturbed mine eye, undisturbed mine ear, undisturbed is mine in-breathing, undisturbed mine out-breathing, undisturbed my diffusive-breath, undisturbed the whole of me.
Under the impulse of the God Savitar, sent forth from the arms-of the Asvins and both hands of Pūshan I have taken thee.
