8.2.12

ārā́d árātiṃ nírr̥tiṃ paró grā́hiṃ kravyā́daḥ piśācā́n |
rákṣo yát sárvaṃ durbhūtáṃ tát táma ivā́pa hanmasi ||12||

Afar niggardliness, perdition, away seizure (grā́hi), the flesh-eating piçācás, every demon that is of evil nature—that we smite away, as it were into darkness.

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