Atharva Veda 1.35

A charm to ensure long life and glory to the wearer of an amulet

GriffithEnglish
This Ornament of Gold which Daksha's children bound, with benevolent thoughts, on Satānïka, This do I bind on thee for life, for glory, for long life lasting through a hundred autumns.
This man no fiends may conquer, no Pisāchas, for this is might of Gods, their primal offspring. Whoever wears the Gold of Daksha's children hath a long lengthened life among the living.
The light, the power, the lustre of the Waters, the strength of Trees, and all their forceful vigour, We lay on him as powers abide in Indra: so let him wear this Gold and show his valour.
With monthly and six-monthly times and seasons, with the full year's sweet essence do we fill thee, May Indra, Agni, and all Gods together, showing no anger, grant thee what thou wishest.
