Atharvaveda 5.6

The bráhman that was first born of old, Vena hath unclosed from the well-shining edge; he unclosed the fundamental nearest positions of it, the womb of the existent and of the non-existent.

Who of you did what first unattained deeds—let them not harm our heroes here; for that purpose I put you forward.

In the thousand-streamed one they resounded (svar) together, in the firmament (nā́ka) of the sky, they the honey-tongued, unhindered. His zealous (bhū́rṇi) spies wink not; in every place are they with fetters for tying.

Round about do thou run forward in order to the winning of booty, round about overpowering adversaries (vṛtrá, n.); then thou goest over haters by the sea (arṇavá). Weakling (sanisrasá) by name art thou, the thirteenth month, Indra's house.

Now (not?) hast thou succeeded (rādh) by that, thou yonder (asāú): hail! having sharp weapons, having sharp missiles, very propitious, O Soma and Rudra, do ye be very gracious to us here.

Thou hast failed (ava-rādh) by that, thou yonder: hail! having sharp etc. etc.

Thou hast offended (apa-rādh) by that, thou yonder: hail! having sharp etc. etc.

Do ye (two) release us from difficulty, from reproach (avadyá); enjoy ye the offering; put in us immortality (amṛ́ta).

O missile (hetí) of sight, missile of mind, missile of incantation (bráhman), and missile of penance! weapon's weapon (mení) art thou; weaponless be they who show malice against us.

Whoever with sight, with mind, with intention, and whoever with design, malicious, shall attack us—do thou, O Agni, with weapon make them weaponless: hail!

Indra's house art thou; to thee there I go forth; thee there I enter, with all my kine, with all my men, with all my soul, with all my body, with that which is mine.

Indra's refuge art thou; to thee etc. etc.

Indra's defense art thou; to thee etc. etc.

Indra's guard (várūtha) art thou; to thee etc. etc.
