Atharva Veda: Book 6: Hymn 34: To Agni for protection from enemies
Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1Send forth thy voice to Agni, to the manly hero of our homes,
So may he bear us past our foes.
2That Agni who with sharpened flame of fire consumes the
Rākshasas,
So may he bear us past our foes.
3He who from distance far remote shineth across the tracts of
land,
May he transport us past our foes.
4He who beholds all creatures, who observes them with a careful
eye,
May he transport us past our foes.
5That brilliant Agni who was born beyond this region of the air,
May he transport us past our foes!
