Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Poison/venom (viṣa), the affliction targeted by multiple distinct charms (snake/insect venom, the Rudra hymn, and surā).
From the arrow-shaft I have spoken the poison forth, and from the collyrium, and from the quiver likewise.
As wide as heaven and earth in their expanse, as far as the seven rivers extend — the utterance that corrupts the poison I have now spoken forth from here.
That poison which the five-fingered one placed upon you, even upon the curved part of the bow — from the arms of Apaskambha I have spoken the poison forth.
