may the Atmosphere protect us from what comes from heaven.
in the texts
Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
The intermediate cosmic space between earth and sky.
The atmosphere makes us fearless, both heaven and earth make us fearless;
From the surface of the earth I have ascended to the mid-region;
Between them are the earth, the mid-air, the sun, the sky — to those two we render homage with all that belongs to Bhava.
Rigveda
The mid-air cosmic region, invoked alongside Earth and Sky for protection and restoration.
may the Atmosphere protect us from what comes from heaven.
may the Atmosphere give it back.
