Atharva Veda 2.28: A prayer for a boy's long and happy life

This Child, Old Age! shall grow to meet thee only: none of the hundred other deaths shall harm him.
From trouble caused by friends let Mitra guard him, as a kind mother guards the son she nurses.

Mitra or Varuna the foe-destroyer, accordant, grant him death in course of nature!
Thus Agni, Hotar-priest, skilled in high statutes, declareth all the deities' generations.

Thou art the Lord of all terrestrial cattle, of cattle born and to be born hereafter.
Let not breath drawn or breath emitted fail him. Let not his friends, let not his foemen slay him.

Let Heaven thy father and let Earth thy mother, accordant, give thee death in course of nature, That thou mayst live on Aditi's bosom, guarded, a hundred winters, through thy respirations.

Lead him to life, O Agni, and to splendour, this dear child, Varuna! and thou King Mitra!
Give him protection, Aditi! as a mother; All Gods, that his be life of long duration;
