परोऽपेह्यसमृद्धे वि ते हेतिं नयामसि । वेद त्वाहं निमीवन्तीं नितुदन्तीमराते
Go far away, O unsuccessful one; we lead your weapon away from you. I know you—blinking, striking, O enmity.
उत नग्ना बोभुवती स्वप्नया सचसे जनम् । अराते चित्तं वीर्त्सन्त्याकूतिं पुरुषस्य च
Even naked, you become, joining with people in dreams; the mind of enmity, the intention of failure, and that of a man.
या महती महोन्माना विश्वा आशा व्यानशे । तस्यै हिरण्यकेश्यै निर्ऋत्या अकरं नमः
She who is great, of great pride, who shatters all hopes— to that golden-haired Nirṛti I offer homage.
हिरण्यवर्णा सुभगा हिरण्यकशिपुर्मही । तस्यै हिरण्यद्रापयेऽरात्या अकरं नमः
Golden-hued, fortunate, with golden palace, vast— to that golden-robed, hostile one I offer homage.
वैकङ्कतेनेध्मेन देवेभ्य आज्यं वह । अग्ने तामिह मादय सर्व आ यन्तु मे हवम्
With Vaikaṅkata fuel, carry the offering to the gods. O Agni, delight in it here; may all come to my invocation.
इन्द्रा याहि मे हवमिदं करिष्यामि तच्छृणु । इम ऐन्द्रा अतिसरा आकूतिं सं नमन्तु मे । तेभिः शकेम वीर्यं जातवेदस्तनूवशिन्
O Indra, come to my invocation; I will perform this—hear it. These Indra-like helpers, let them bow down my intention. With them, O Jātavedas, may we achieve strength, preserving our bodies.
यदसावमुतो देवा अदेवः संश्चिकीर्षति । मा तस्याग्निर्हव्यं वाक्षीद्धवं देवा अस्य मोप गुर्ममैव हवमेतन
If some godless one here or there wishes to join the gods, may Agni not carry his offering; may the gods not accept his invocation—let this offering be mine alone.
अति धावतातिसरा इन्द्रस्य वचसा हत । अविं वृक इव मथ्नीत स वो जीवन् मा मोचि प्राणमस्यापि नह्यत
Let the Indra-like helpers run ahead, strike with Indra's command. Break the ram like a wolf; let him live, do not let his life slip away, even if he is bound.
यममी पुरोदधिरे ब्रह्माणमपभूतये । इन्द्र स ते अधस्पदं तं प्रत्यस्यामि मृत्यवे
Whomever they have set up as priest for the removal of evil, O Indra, may that one be placed beneath you; I cast him down to death.
यदि प्रेयुर्देवपुरा ब्रह्म वर्माणि चक्रिरे । तनूपानं परिपाणं कृण्वाना यदुपोचिरे सर्वं तदरसं कृधि
If, in ancient times, the gods made prayers and armor for themselves, making protection for body and life, whatever they used—make all that flavorless for him.
यान् असावतिसरांश्चकार कृणवच्च यान् । त्वं तान् इन्द्र वृत्रहन् प्रतीचः पुनरा कृधि यथामुं तृणहां जनम्
O Indra, slayer of Vṛtra, those whom he has driven away and those whom he will drive away—bring them back, just as you restore that people who have been scattered.
यथेन्द्र उद्वाचनं लब्ध्वा चक्रे अधस्पदम् । कृण्वेऽहमधरान् तथा अमूञ्छश्वतीभ्यः समाभ्यः
Just as, Indra, having obtained the utterance, you made the lower place, so I make these people subordinate to the ever-abiding ones.
अत्रैनान् इन्द्र वृत्रहन्न् उग्रो मर्मणि विध्य । अत्रैवैनान् अभि तिष्ठेन्द्र मेद्यहं तव । अनु त्वेन्द्रा रभामहे स्याम सुमतौ तव
Here, Indra, Vṛtra-slayer, strike them fiercely at the vital spot; here stand over them, Indra, for I am your devotee. We take hold of you, Indra; may we be in your good favor.

The sun is my sight, the wind my breath, the atmosphere my self, the earth my body. I am called Astṛta; this is who I am. He has established himself for the protection of heaven and earth.
उदायुरुद्बलमुत्कृतमुत्कृत्यामुन् मनीषामुदिन्द्रियम् । आयुष्कृदायुष्पत्नी स्वधावन्तौ गोपा मे स्तं गोपायतं मा । आत्मसदौ मे स्तं मा मा हिंसिष्टम्
May vigor rise, may strength rise, may discernment and power rise; may the giver of life and his consort, endowed with their own power, protect me, the herdsman. May you two dwell with me, do not harm me.

बृहता मन उप ह्वये मातरिश्वना प्राणापानौ । सूर्याच्चक्षुरन्तरिक्षाच्छ्रोत्रं पृथिव्याः शरीरम् । सरस्वत्या वाचमुप ह्वयामहे मनोयुजा
With the great mind, I invoke the breath of life, Mātariśvan; the inward and outward breaths. The eye from the sun, hearing from the midspace, the body from the earth. We invoke speech from Sarasvatī, yoked with the mind.
कथं महे असुरायाब्रवीरिह कथं पित्रे हरये त्वेषनृम्णः । पृश्निं वरुण दक्षिणां ददावान् पुनर्मघ त्वं मनसाचिकित्सीः
How, O mighty one, did I speak to the Asura here? How to the father, to Hari, of fierce and noble strength? Varuṇa, you gave the southern quarter to Pṛśni; again, O bountiful one, you have healed with your mind.
