Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 6 — Chapter 29

AV 6 29.1

अमून् हेतिः पतत्रिणी न्य् एतु यद् उलूको वदति मोघम् एतत् । यद् वा कपोत पदम् अग्नौ कृणोति

amūn hetiḥ patatriṇī ny etu yad ulūko vadati mogham etat | yad vā kapota padam agnau kṛṇoti

Upon those yonder let the winged weapon come down; what the owl utters, that is in vain; or what footprint the dove makes on the fire.

यौ ते दूतौ निरृत इदम् एतो ऽप्रहितौ प्रहितौ वा गृहं नः । कपोतोलूकाभ्याम् अपदं तद् अस्तु

AV 6 29.3

अवैरहत्यायेदम् आ पपत्यात् सुवीरताया इदम् आ ससद्यात् । पराङ् एव परा वद पराचीम् अनु संवतम् । यथा यमस्य त्वा गृहे ऽरसं प्रतिचाकशान् आभूकं प्रतिचाकशान्

avairahatyāyedam ā papatyāt suvīratāyā idam ā sasadyāt | parāṅ eva parā vada parācīm anu saṃvatam | yathā yamasya tvā gṛhe 'rasaṃ praticākaśān ābhūkaṃ praticākaśān

For the not-slaying of our men let it fly hither; for abundance of heroes let it settle hither. Speak away, turned away, off along the distant region; so that in Yama's house they may behold thee sapless, may behold thee ābhūkam.
