O Pillars of this House of countless treasures, O buttresses and crossbeams, we loosen your bonds!
Atharva Veda IX, 3, 1
What is bound in you, who contain all riches, those fetters and knots, with a powerful word I unloose, like Brhaspati breaking open the cavern.
Atharva Veda IX, 3, 2
[The sorcerer] stretched out the rope and tied it, fixing firmly the knots. Like a skillful butcher cleaving the joints, with Indra’s help we loosen them.

We unite the bonds of your beams and clasps, of your thatch and your sides, O House of all riches.
Atharva Veda IX, 3, 4
We loosen the bonds of the clamps and bundles, of all that encircles and binds the Lady of the House.
Atharva Veda IX, 3, 5
