यत्त आत्मनि तन्वां घोरमस्ति यद्वा केशेषु प्रतिचक्षणे वा । सर्वं तद्वाचाप हन्मो वयं देवस्त्वा सविता सूदयतु
Whatever is fierce in your body or in your hair, or in any part, all that we destroy with words; may the god Savitṛ lay it low.
रिश्यपदीं वृषदतीं गोषेधां विधमामुत । विलीढ्यं ललाम्यं ता अस्मन् नाशयामसि
The one with the foot of a lynx, the strong, the cow-thief, the destroyer—whatever is ill-marked or evil, we drive those away from us.
मा नो विदन् विव्याधिनो मो अभिव्याधिनो विदन् । आराच्छरव्या अस्मद्विषूचीरिन्द्र पातय
Let not the piercers strike us, nor let the over-piercers strike; O Indra, cast far away from us the arrows that come from all sides.
विष्वञ्चो अस्मच्छरवः पतन्तु ये अस्ता ये चास्याः । दैवीर्मनुष्येषवो ममामित्रान् वि विध्यत
Let the arrows fall away from us in all directions, those that are here and those that are there; divine and human missiles, scatter my enemies.
यो नः स्वो यो अरणः सजात उत निष्ट्यो यो अस्मामभिदासति । रुद्रः शरव्ययैतान् ममामित्रान् वि विध्यतु
Whoever among us is our own, or a stranger, or a relative, or an outsider who attacks us—may Rudra scatter all those enemies with his arrows.
यः सपत्नो योऽसपत्नो यश्च द्विषन् छपाति नः । देवास्तं सर्वे धूर्वन्तु ब्रह्म वर्म ममान्तरम्
Whoever is a rival, or not a rival, or whoever hates and attacks us—may all the gods destroy him; let prayer be my inner armor.
अदारसृद्भवतु देव सोमास्मिन् यज्ञे मरुतो मृडता नः । मा नो विददभिभा मो अशस्तिर्मा नो विदद्वृजिना द्वेष्या या
Let Soma, the god, be gracious in this sacrifice; O Maruts, show us mercy. Let not the hostile one overpower us, nor let any evil or hateful act befall us.
यो अद्य सेन्यो वधोऽघायूनामुदीरते । युवं तं मित्रावरुणावस्मद्यावयतं परि
Whoever today raises a weapon against the sinful, O Mitra and Varuṇa, drive him far away from us.
इतश्च यदमुतश्च यद्वधं वरुण यावय । वि महच्छर्म यच्छ वरीयो यावया वधम्
From here or from there, whatever danger there is, O Varuṇa, drive it away; spread out your great shield, O mighty one, and ward off the harm.
शास इत्था महामस्यमित्रसाहो अस्तृतः । न यस्य हन्यते सखा न जीयते कदा चन
He is thus commanded, mighty, unconquered, victorious over foes; his friend is never slain, nor is he ever defeated.
स्वस्तिदा विशां पतिर्वृत्रहा विमृधो वशी । वृषेन्द्रः पुर एतु नः सोमपा अभयंकरः
May the giver of well-being, lord of the people, slayer of obstacles, mighty and powerful Indra, who drinks Soma and brings fearlessness, come to us within the city.
वि न इन्द्र मृधो जहि नीचा यच्छ पृतन्यतः । अधमं गमया तमो यो अस्मामभिदासति
O Indra, scatter the obstacles, subdue and cast down the hostile ones; send into darkness whoever attacks us.
वि रक्षो वि मृधो जहि वि वृत्रस्य हनू रुज । वि मन्युमिन्द्र वृत्रहन्न् अमित्रस्याभिदासतः
Scatter the demons, scatter the obstacles, break the jaws of the adversary; O Indra, slayer of Vṛtra, disperse the wrath of the enemy who assaults us.
अपेन्द्र द्विषतो मनोऽप जिज्यासतो वधम् । वि महच्छर्म यच्छ वरीयो यावया वधम्
O Indra, drive away the mind of the hostile, drive away the intent of the jealous, remove the great covering, grant us the greater path, and ward off harm.
अनु सूर्यमुदयतां हृद्द्योतो हरिमा च ते । गो रोहितस्य वर्णेन तेन त्वा परि दध्मसि
Let the radiance of your heart follow the rising sun, and your golden hue; with the color of the red cow, we envelop you.

नक्तंजातासि ओषधे रामे कृष्णे असिक्नि च । इदं रजनि रजय किलासं पलितं च यत्
You are born at night, O herb, lovely, dark, and black; this is the dye for the night, for what is leprous and gray.
किलासं च पलितं च निरितो नाशया पृषत्। आ त्वा स्वो विशतां वर्णः परा शुक्लानि पातय

सुपर्णो जातः प्रथमस्तस्य त्वं पित्तमासिथ । तदासुरी युधा जिता रूपं चक्रे वनस्पतीन्
The eagle was born first; you became its bile; then the demoness, conquered in battle, shaped the forms of the trees.
आसुरी चक्रे प्रथमेदं किलासभेषजमिदं किलासनाशनम् । अनीनशत्किलासं सरूपामकरत्त्वचम्

Your mother is called Uniform, your father is called Uniform; O herb, you are made uniform, so make this uniform.
श्यामा सरूपंकरणी पृथिव्या अध्युद्भृता । इदमू षु प्र साधय पुना रूपाणि कल्पय
The dark one, maker of uniformity, raised from the earth; let her accomplish this, restore the forms anew.
यदग्निरापो अदहत्प्रविश्य यत्राकृण्वन् धर्मधृतो नमांसि । तत्र त आहुः परमं जनित्रं स नः संविद्वान् परि वृङ्ग्धि तक्मन्
Where fire and water entered and burned, where the bearers of law made their obeisance, there they say is the highest origin; may the wise one remove fever from us.

Homage to the cold fever, homage to the fierce, burning one; I offer reverence. To the fever that comes on alternate days, or every day, or every third day— let there be homage to that fever.
