Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
A yellowing disease transferred by ritual color-magic into red cattle and yellow creatures and plants.
and likewise into the turmeric-yellow plants we deposit your jaundice.
With red colours we envelop you round about for long life, so that you may be free of disease — be free of jaundice!
The red cows that belong to the gods, and those that are red — with form upon form, with life-force upon life-force, with these we envelop you round about.
