Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 7 — Chapter 51

AV 7 51.1

बृहस्पतिर् नः परि पातु पश्चाद् उतोत्तरस्माद् अधराद् अघयोः । इन्द्रः पुरस्ताद् उत मध्यतो नः सखा सखिभ्यो वरीयः कृणोतु

bṛhaspatir naḥ pari pātu paścād utottarasmād adharād aghayoḥ | indraḥ purastād uta madhyato naḥ sakhā sakhibhyo varīyaḥ kṛṇotu

May Bṛhaspati guard us round about from behind, and from above, and from below, from the one who does evil. May Indra from in front and from the middle make wider room for us, a comrade for his comrades.
