Atharva Veda 6.13

Homage to death

GriffithEnglish
Worship to weapons of the Gods! worship to weapons of the Kings! Then worship to the people's arms! worship, O Death, be paid to thee!
Let worship be to thy defence and to thine accusation paid. Death! be this worship paid to thy good-will and thy malevo- lence!
Worship to thy physicians, to thy sorcerers be worship paid! Death! let this reverence be done unto thy Brāhmans and thy roots.
