Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Personified/reified emotional affliction (jealousy) lodged in the heart, expelled through a three-verse charm.
That which is lodged in your heart, tending toward the mind, about to fly — from that I release your jealousy, as steam is released from a skin.
The foremost dart of jealousy, the lowest and the highest — the wrath that dwells in the heart, the grief — these we charm out of you.
As the earth is dead in mind toward the dead, more dead in mind than the dead — as the mind of a corpse is dead — so let the mind of jealousy be dead.
Ansāb al-ʻArab al-qudamāʼ
Sexual honour and the fear of disgrace over daughters, whose very existence among the pre-Islamic Arabs is used to prove that unregulated communal marriage cannot have obtained.
Their fear of disgrace for their daughters is an indication of jealousy, and jealousy cannot exist in communal marriage.
