May we be without fear of friend and foe! May we be without fear of the known and the unknown! May we be without fear by night and by day! Let all the world be my friend!
Atharva Veda XIX, 15, 6
Blessing and joy to our mother and father! Joy to cattle, to beasts, and to men! May all well-being and graces be ours! Long may we see the sun!
Atharva Veda I, 31, 4
May the wind blow us joy, may the sun shine down joy on us, may our days pass with joy, may the night be a gift of joyful peace! May the dawn bring us joy at its coming!
Atharva Veda VII, 69
He flattens the trees and smites the demons; the whole world fears his powerful stroke. Even the innocent flee from this God’s strength, when Parjanya thundering strikes the wicked.
Rig Veda V, 83, 2
Like a driver urging with a whip his horses we see him driving his heralds of storm. From afar is heard the roaring of the lion when Parjanya makes the heavy rain clouds.
Rig Veda V, 83, 3
