Book 6: Hymn 106: A charm to protect a house from fire

Hymns of the Atharva Veda (Griffith) · 1 passage

1

1Let flowery Dūrvā grass grow up about thine exit and approach. There let a spring of water rise, or lake with blooming lotuses. 2This is the place where waters meet, here is the gathering of the flood. Our home is set amid the lake: turn thou thy jaws away from it. 3O House, we compass thee about with coolness to envelop thee. Cool as a lake be thou to us. Let Agni bring us healing balm!
