12.1.46

yás te sarpó vŕ̥ścikas tr̥ṣṭádaṃśmā hemantájabdho bhr̥maló gúhā śáye |
krímir jínvat pr̥thivi yádyad éjati prāvŕ̥ṣi tán naḥ sárpan mópa sr̥pad yác chiváṃ téna no mr̥ḍa ||46||

What stinging (vṛ́çcika) harsh-biting serpent of thine lies in secret, winter-harmed, torpid (? bhṛmalá); whatever worm, O earth, becoming lively, stirs in the early rainy season—let that, crawling, not crawl upon us; be thou gracious to us with that which is propitious.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
