Atharvaveda 4.9

Come thou, rescuing the living one; of the mountain art thou for the eyes (?), given by all the gods, an enclosure (paridhí) in order to living.

Protection (paripā́ṇa) of men (púruṣa), protection of kine art thou; in order to the protection of coursing (árvant) horses hast thou stood.

Both art thou a protection, grinder-up of familiar demons (yātú), O ointment, and of what is immortal thou knowest; likewise art thou gratification (-bhójana) of the living, likewise remedy of jaundice (hárita-).

Of whomsoever, O ointment, thou creepest over limb after limb, joint after joint, from thence thou drivest away the yákṣma, like a formidable mid-lier (madhyamaçī́).

Curse attains him not, nor witchcraft, nor scorching; víṣkandha reaches him not who beareth thee, O ointment.

From wrong spell, from evil dreaming, from evil deed, from pollution also, from the terrible eye of an enemy—therefrom protect us, ointment.

Knowing this, O ointment, I shall speak truth, not falsehood; may I win (san) a horse, a cow, thy soul, O man (púruṣa).

Three are the slaves (dāsá) of the ointment—fever (takmán), balā́sa, then snake: the highest of mountains, three-peaked (trikakúd) by name, [is] thy father.

The ointment that is of the three-peaked [mountain], born from the snowy one (himávant)—may it grind up all the familiar demons and all the sorceresses.

If thou art of the three-peaked [mountain], or if thou art called of the Yamunā—both thy names are excellent; by them protect us, O ointment.
