atharvā sṛjate ghoram adbhutaṃ śamayet tathā | atharvā rakṣate yajñaṃ yajñasya patir aṅgirāḥ ||
The Atharvan releases the terrible, and likewise he pacifies portents; / the Atharvan protects the sacrifice; the Aṅgiras is the lord of the sacrifice.

divyāntarikṣabhaumānām utpātānām anekadhā | śamayitā brahmavedajñas tasmād rakṣitā bhṛguḥ ||
The knower of the Brahmaveda is the pacifier of portents of the sky, the intermediate space, and the earth in diverse ways; / therefore the descendant of Bhṛgu is the protector.

brahmā śamayen nādhvaryur na chandogo na bahvṛcaḥ | rakṣāṃsi rakṣati brahmā brahmā tasmād atharvavit ||
The Brahman priest can pacify, not the Adhvaryu, not the Chandoga, not the Bahvṛca; / the Brahman priest guards against the demons; therefore the Brahman priest must be a knower of the Atharvan.

senāyā rakṣaṇe tasmāt svarāṣṭraparivṛddhaye | śāntyarthaṃ ca mahīpālo vṛṇuyād bhārgavaṃ gurum ||
