पर तद वोचेयं भव्यायेन्दवे हव्यो न य इषवान मन्म रेजति रक्षोहा मन्म रेजति | सवयं सो अस्मदा निदो वधैरजेत दुर्मतिम | अव सरवेदघशंसो.अवतरमव कषुद्रमिव सरवेत

pra tad voceyaṃ bhavyāyendave havyo na ya iṣavān manma rejati rakṣohā manma rejati | svayaṃ so asmadā nido vadhairajeta durmatim | ava sravedaghaśaṃso.avataramava kṣudramiva sravet

English Translation (Griffith)

This may I utter to the present Soma-drop, which, meet to be invoked, with power, awakes the prayer, awakes the demon-slaying prayer. May he himself with darts of death drive far from us the scorner's hate. Far let him flee away who speaketh wickedness and vanish like a mote of dust.
