ATHARVA VEDA (7.12)
Rishi: Shaunaka

May the Assembly and the Council,
  the two Daughters of Prajāpati be in concord and Protect  me!
May every one I meet guide me;
  Fathers, may I speak finely in  the meetings. ------------ (1)

I know thy name, O Assembly,
   "The Desired of Men" is the name thou hast;
May all those who are thy members
   agree with me in my opinion. ------------ (2)

Let me receive the brilliance
   and the wisdom of those seated here together;
and among these people assembled here
  make me the most illustrious, Indra! ------------ (3)

Whether your thoughts are turned away,
  or are bound fast here and  here,
I turn those thoughts of yours found;
  in me may your minds delight, ------------ (4)
