Atharva Veda Quotations | Page 3

May there be nobody to create a rift between us!

May their weapons fall from their (hands), may they be unable to lay the arrow on (the bow)! And then (our) arrows shall smite them, badly frightened, in their vital members!

May the alert and the watchful divinities guard thee, may he that sleeps not and nods not guard thee, may he that protects and is vigilant guard thee!

May our friends be dear to us! May those who hate us, end up in darkness of ignorance!

May my four organs be free from ailments! May my entire body be healthy and strong!

May it preserve thee from sorcery, from thy equals and thy kin! Undying be, immortal, exceedingly vital; thy spirits shall not abandon thy body!

May I be dear to deities...people of equal capabilities and animals alike... and may I be blessed with a long life!

May 'enthusiasm' and 'superiority' remain together and bless us with wealth! May the enemy flee after being scared!

May earth provide us with all the things of our requirements just like a 'mother', who breast-feeds her child.

No one should be condemned as trash; even a little stick can serve as a toothpick!
