Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 7 — Chapter 8

AV 7 8.1

भद्राद् अधि श्रेयः प्रेहि बृहस्पतिः पुरएता ते अस्तु । अथेमम् अस्या वर आ पृथिव्या आरेशत्रुं कृणुहि सर्ववीरम्

bhadrād adhi śreyaḥ prehi bṛhaspatiḥ puraetā te astu | athemam asyā vara ā pṛthivyā āreśatruṃ kṛṇuhi sarvavīram

From the good go on up to the better; let Bṛhaspati be your forerunner. Then make him, in the choicest place of this earth, one whose foes are far off, one with all his men.
