Atharva Veda · Chapter 19.47

ā rātri pārthivaṃ rajaḥ pituraprāyi dhāmabhiḥ /
divaḥ sadāṃsi bṛhatī vi tiṣṭhasa ā tveṣaṃ vartate tamaḥ

na yasyāḥ pāraṃ dadṛśe na yoyuvadviśvamasyāṃ ni viśate yadejati /
ariṣṭāsasta urvi tamasvati rātri pāramaśīmahi bhadre pāramaśīmahi

ye te rātri nṛcakṣaso draṣṭāro navatirnava /
aśītiḥ santyaṣṭā uto te sapta saptatiḥ

ṣaṣṭiśca ṣaṭca revati pañcāśatpañca sumnayi /
catvāraścatvāriṃśacca trayastriṃśacca vājini

dvau ca te viṃśatiśca te rātryekādaśāvamāḥ /
tebhirno adya pāyubhirnu pāhi duhitardivaḥ

rakṣā mākirno aghaśaṃsa īśata mā no duḥśaṃsa īśata /
mā no adya gavāṃ steno māvīnāṃ vṛka īśata

māśvānāṃ bhadre taskaro mā nṛṇāṃ yātudhānyaḥ /
paramebhiḥ pathibhi steno dhāvatu taskaraḥ /
pareṇa datvatī rajjuḥ pareṇāghāyurarṣatu

adha rātri tṛṣṭadhūmamaśīrṣāṇamahiṃ kṛṇu /

tvayi rātri vasāmasi svapiṣyāmasi jāgṛhi /
gobhyo naḥ śarma yachāśvebhyaḥ puruṣebhyaḥ
