Atharvaveda 3.11

I release thee by oblation, in order to living, from unknown yákṣma and from royal yákṣma; if now seizure (gráhi) hath seized him, from it, O Indra-and-Agni, do ye release him.

If of exhausted life-time, or if deceased, if gone down even to the presence (antiká) of death, him I take from the lap of perdition; I have won (spṛ) him for [life] of a hundred autumns.

With an oblation having a thousand eyes, a hundred heroisms, a hundred life-times, have I taken him, in order that Indra may lead him unto autumns, across to the further shore of all difficulty (duritá).

Live thou increasing a hundred autumns, a hundred winters, and a hundred springs; a hundred to thee [may] Indra, Agni, Savitar, Brihaspati [give]; with an oblation of a hundred life-times have I taken him.

Enter in, O breath-and-expiration, as two draft-oxen a pen (vrajá); let the other deaths go away (ví), which they call the remaining hundred.

Be ye just here, O breath-and-expiration; go ye not away from here; carry his body, his limbs, unto old age again.

Unto old age do I commit thee; unto old age do I shake thee down (ni-dhū); may old age, excellent, conduct thee; let the other deaths go away, which they call the remaining hundred.

Old age hath curbed (abhi-dhā) thee, as it were a cow, an ox, with a rope; the death that curbed thee, when born, with easy fetter—that Brihaspati released for thee, with the (two) hands of truth.
