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.
