Hymns of the Atharva-Veda/Book 1/Hymn 8

To Indra, Brihaspati, Soma and Agni, for the destruction of sorcerers

1. This sacrifice shall bring the Yātudhānas as the flood brings
     foam: 
     Here let the doer of this deed woman or man, acknowledge it.
2. This one hath come confessing all: do ye receive him
     eagerly.
     Master him thou, Brihaspati; Agni and Soma, pierce him
     through.
3. O Soma-drinker, strike and bring the Yātudhāna's progeny:
     Make the confessing sinner's eyes fall from his head, both right
     and left.
4. As thou, O Agni Jātavedas, knowest the races of these secret
     greedy beings,
     So strengthened by the power of prayer, O Agni, crushing them
     down a hundred times destroy them.
