Atharvaveda 5.3

Be splendor mine, O Agni, in rival invocations (vihavá); may we, kindling thee, adorn ourselves; let the four directions bow to me; with thee as overseer may we conquer the fighters.

O Agni, pushing back the fury of our adversaries, do thou, our keeper (gopā́), protect us about on all sides; let our abusers (durasyú) go away downwards; among themselves (amā́) let the intent of them awaking be lost.

Let all the gods be at my separate call—the Maruts with Indra, Vishṇu, Agni; let the broad-spaced atmosphere be mine; let the wind blow (pū) for me unto this desire.

Let what sacrifices I make make sacrifice for me; let my mind's design be realized (satyā́); let me not fall into (ni-gā) any sin soever; let all the gods defend me here.

On me let the gods bestow (ā-yaj) property; with me be blessing (āçís), with me divine invocation; may the divine invokers (hótar) win that for us; may we be unharmed with our self (tanū́), rich in heroes.

Ye six divine wide ones, make wide [space] for us; all ye gods, revel here; let not a portent find us, nor an imprecation; let not the wrong that is hateful find us.

Ye three goddesses, grant (yam) us great protection, what is prosperous (puṣṭá) for our progeny and for ourselves (tanū́); let us not be deserted (hā) by progeny nor selves; let us not be made subject to the hater, O king Soma.

Let the bull (mahiṣá) of wide expanse grant us protection, having much food (-kṣú), [he] the much-invoked in this invocation; do thou be gracious unto our progeny, O thou of the bay horses; O Indra, harm us not, do not abandon us.

The Creator (dhātár), the disposer (vidhātár), he who is lord of being, god Savitar, overpowerer of hostile plotters, the Ādityas, the Rudras, both the Açvins—let the gods protect the sacrificer from perdition (nirṛthá).

They that are our rivals—away be they; with Indra and Agni do we beat (bādh) them down; the Ādityas, the Rudras, sky-reaching (? uparispṛ́ç), have made our over-king a stern corrector.

Hitherward do we call Indra from yonder, who is kine-conquering, riches-conquering, who is horse-conquering; let him hear this sacrifice of ours at our separate call; of us, O thou of the bay horses, hast thou been the ally (medín).
