Do not proceed on that dread-filled path, not yet trodden by you–I give you good warning! To that darkness, O man, do not descend. There is fear, here fearlessness.
Atharva Veda VIII, 1, 10
May the sparks that dwell in the Waters protect you, may the Fire that the sons of men kindle protect you, may the Universal Lord, the All-Knowing, protect you, heavenly fire and lightning not consume you!
Atharva Veda VIII, 1, 11
Let not the funeral pyre consume you! Elude the Destroyer! May Heaven and Earth, the Sun and the Moon, protect you! May space protect you from the stroke of the Gods!
Atharva Veda VIII, 1, 12
The red colour of the moon is the colour of fire, the white the colour of water, the black the colour of earth. Thus vanishes from the moon what is commonly called the moon, the modification being only a name, arising from speech, while the three colours alone are true.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad VI, IV – The Threefold Development further explained, 3
The red colour of lightning is the colour of fire, the white the colour of water, the black the colour of earth. Thus vanishes from lightning what is commonly called lighting, the modification being only a name, arising from speech, while the three colours alone are true.
