Atharvaveda 19.34

Jan̄giḍá art though, jan̄giḍá; defender art thou, jan̄giḍá; what of ours is two-footed, four-footed—let jan̄giḍá defend it all.

The witchcrafts that are thrice fifty, and the witchcraft-makers that are a hundred—may the jan̄giḍá make them all of vanished brilliancy (-téjas) [and] sapless.

Sapless the artificial noise, sapless the seven that fall apart; away from here, O jan̄giḍá, make fall (çat) misery, as an archer (ástṛ) an arrow.

A spoiler of witchcraft verily is this, likewise a spoiler of niggardry; likewise may the powerful jan̄giḍá lengthen out our life-times.

Let that greatness of the jan̄giḍá protect us all about, wherewith [it] overpowered the víṣkandha with force, [being] a counteracting force (?).

Thrice the gods generated thee that art settled (ni-sthā) upon the earth; and Brahmans of old know thee thus as An̄giras by name.

Not the former herbs surpass thee, not thee the recent; a formidable dispeller [is] the jan̄giḍá, a protector round about, of good omen.

So then when thou didst come into being, O jan̄giḍá, ⌊O thou⌋ of unmeasured heroism, Indra of old, O formidable one, ⌊in the beginning (agratás)⌋, gave unto thee heroism.

To thee, O forest tree, the formidable Indra imparted (ā-dhā) formidableness; expelling all diseases (ámīvā), do thou smite the demons, O herb.

The crusher, the burster, the balā́sa, the side-ache, the takmán of every autumn, may the jan̄giḍá make sapless.
