The Atharvan releases the terrible, and likewise he pacifies portents; / the Atharvan protects the sacrifice; the Aṅgiras is the lord of the sacrifice.

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.

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.

Therefore, for the protection of the army, for the increase of his own realm, / and for the sake of propitiation, the ruler of the earth should choose a descendant of Bhṛgu as spiritual guide.
