May he be lost, himself and his children! Let him be consigned beneath the three earths! May the fair name of him who day and night seeks to harm us, O Gods, be totally blighted!
Rig Veda VII, 104, 11
Now, if a man sees himself (his reflection) in water, he should recite the following mantra: May the Gods bestow on me vigour, manhood, fame, wealth and merit. In praise of the wife who will bear him a son: She (his wife) has put on the soiled clothes of impurity; she is, verily, loveliness among women. Therefore when she has removed the clothes of impurity and appears beautiful, he should approach her and speak to her.
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad VI, IV-Conception and Birth as Religious Rites, 6
The branch of Nonbeing which is far-extending men take to be the highest one of all. They reckon as inferior those who worship your other branch, the branch of Being.
Destroy with your heat the workers of magic; destroy with your power the evil spirits; destroy with your flames idolatrous persons; burn to nothingness murderous scoundrels!
Rig Veda X, 87, 14
Giver of salvation, Lord of the people, destroyer of the demon, overpowerer of enemies, O powerful Lord, enjoyer of Soma, go before us, calming our fear.
Rig Veda X, 152, 2
