Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 7 — Chapter 71

AV 7 71.1

परि त्वाग्ने पुरं वयं विप्रं सहस्य धीमहि । धृषद्वर्णं दिवेदिवे हन्तारं भङ्गुरावतः

pari tvāgne puraṃ vayaṃ vipraṃ sahasya dhīmahi | dhṛṣadvarṇaṃ divedive hantāraṃ bhaṅgurāvataḥ

We would set thee round about as a stronghold, O Agni, the inspired one, O mighty one, of bold aspect, day by day, the slayer of the treacherous man.
