Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1God Agni hath come forth to us, fiend-slayer, chaser of disease,
Burning the Yātudhānas up, Kimidins, and deceitful ones.
2Consume the Yātudhānas, God! meet the Kimidins with thy
flame:
Burn up the Yātudhānis as they face thee, thou whose path is
black!
3She who hath cursed us with a curse, or hath conceived a
murderous sin;
Or seized our son to take his blood, let her devour the child
she bare.
4Let her, the Yātudhāni eat son, sister, and her daughter's.
child.
Now let the twain by turns destroy the wild-haired Yātudhānis-
and crush down Arāyis to the earth!
