Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 8.2.9

devā́nāṃ hetíḥ pári tvā vṛṇaktu pārayā́mi tvā rájasa ú t tvā mṛtyór apīparam | ārā́d agníṃ kravyā́daṃ nirū́haṃ jīvā́tave te paridhíṃ dadhāmi ||

Let the Gods’ weapon close around thee. I bear thee through from out the region; from Death I have delivered thee. Far off the flesh-devouring Fire, the uprooting one— for thy living I set a boundary round about thee.

Biarlah senjata para Dewa melingkungimu. Aku membawamu menyeberangi wilayah ini; daripada Mṛtyu (Kematian) aku telah melepaskanmu. Jauhkanlah Agni pemakan-daging (kravyād), si pencabut-akar; demi hidupmu aku menegakkan sempadan pelindung di sekelilingmu.
