2.7.1

aghádviṣṭā devájātā vīrúc chapathayópanī |
ā́po málam iva prā́ṇaikṣīt sárvān mác chapáthām̐ ádhi ||1||

Hated by mischief, god-born, the curse-effacing plant hath washed away from me all curses, as waters do filth.

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

brahmā́ yán manyutáḥ śápāt sárvaṃ tán no adhaspadám ||2||

Both the curse that is a rival's, and the curse that is a sister's, what a priest (? brahmán) from fury may curse—all that [be] underneath our feet.

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

divó mū́lam ávatataṃ pr̥thivyā́ ádhy úttatam |
téna sahásrakāṇḍena pári ṇaḥ pāhi viśvátaḥ ||3||

From the sky [is] the root stretched down, from off the earth stretched up; with this, thousand-jointed (-kā́ṇḍa), do thou protect us about on all sides.

árātir no mā́ tārīn mā́ nas tāriśúr abhímātayaḥ ||4||

Protect me about, my progeny, [and] what riches are ours; let not the niggard get the better (tṛ) of us; let not hostile plotters get the better of us.

cákṣurmantrasya durhā́rdaḥ pr̥ṣṭī́r ápi śr̥ṇīmasi ||5||

Let the curse go to the curser; our [part] is along with him that is friendly (suhā́rd); of the eye-conjurer (-mántra), the unfriendly, we crush in the ribs (pṛṣṭí).

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