If the sacrifice is injured with regard to the Rik-verses, one should then offer a libation in the Garhapatya Fire saying: Bhuh Svaha! Thus is healed the injury with regard to the Rik-verses by means of the essence and the power of the Rik-verses themselves.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad IV, XVII – Penances for Mistakes in the Sacrifice, 4
If the sacrifice is injured with regard to the Yajus-verses, one should then offer a libation in the Southern (Dakshina) Fire, saying: Bhuvah Svaha ! Thus is healed the injury with regard to the Yajus-verses by means of the essence and the power of the Yajus-verses themselves.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad IV, XVII – Penances for Mistakes in the Sacrifice, 5
O thunder-wielding God, you of all beings are most renowned and mightiest of the mighty. Conduct us to the further shore of sorrows in peace and frustrate all assaults of evil.
Rig Veda II, 33, 3
May we not anger you, O God, in our worship by praise that is unworthy or by scanty tribute. Restore our warriors with your medicaments. I know, O mightiest, you are the best of healers.
Rig Veda II, 33, 4
With invocation and offering I approach him, eager to appease this God with my praises. May the God of mercy, of dark, handsome looks, who is easy of entreaty, spare us his anger!
Rig Veda II, 33, 5
