Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
The sacred aśvattha (Ficus religiosa) tree, source of protective amulets and itself addressed as an empowering, king-strengthening entity.
This amulet, all-conquering, endowed with good heroes — I lift it out entirely from this aśvattha tree, whereby I shall win all battles and speak brilliantly in the assembly.
The Aśvattha has ascended over him who is king of the human folk.
Now make splendorous the one upon whom, O Aśvattha, thou dost climb.
