hetiḥ pakṣiṇī na dabhātyasmānāṣṭryāṃ padaṃ kṛṇuteaghnidhāne | śaṃ no ghobhyaśca puruṣebhyaścāstu mā nohiṃsīdiha devāḥ kapotaḥ

Let not the Arrow that hath wings distract us: beside the fire-place, on the hearth it settles. May, it bring welfare to our men and cattle: here let the Dove, ye Gods, forbear to harm us.
