Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 7 — Chapter 108

AV 7 108.1

यो न स्तायद् दिप्सति यो न आविः स्वो विद्वान् अरणो वा नो अग्ने । प्रतीच्य् एत्व् अरणी दत्वती तान् मैषाम् अग्ने वास्तु भून् मो अपत्यम्

yo na stāyad dipsati yo na āviḥ svo vidvān araṇo vā no agne | pratīcy etv araṇī datvatī tān maiṣām agne vāstu bhūn mo apatyam

He who seeks to injure us in secret, or he who (does so) openly, whether our own kinsman knowing (us) or a stranger, O Agni — let the toothed araṇī go against them; let there be for them, O Agni, neither dwelling nor offspring.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Whoso by stealth or openly would harm us, a friend who knows us, or a stranger, Agni! May the strange she-fiend armed with teeth attack them: O Agni, theirs be neither home nor children!

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)

AV 7 108.2

यो नः सुप्तान् जाग्रतो वाभिदासात् तिष्ठतो वा चरतो जातवेदः । वैश्वानरेण सयुजा सजोषास् तान् प्रतीचो निर् दह जातवेदः

yo naḥ suptān jāgrato vābhidāsāt tiṣṭhato vā carato jātavedaḥ | vaiśvānareṇa sayujā sajoṣās tān pratīco nir daha jātavedaḥ

Whoever should assail us sleeping or waking, standing or moving, O Jātavedas — in union and accord with Vaiśvānara, burn them down, turned back (upon them), O Jātavedas.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Whoso oppresseth us O Jātavedas, asleep or waking, standing still or moving. Accordant with Vaisvānara thy comrade, O Jātavedas, meet them and consume them.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
