Sukta 4
धि॒ये सम॑श्विना॒ प्राव॑तं न उरु॒ष्या ण॑ उरुज्म॒न्नप्र॑युछन्। द्यौ॒३ष्पित॑र्या॒वय॑ दु॒च्छुना॒ या
dhíye sám aśvinā prá ā́vatam no urúṣyā ṇa urujmán áprayuchan | dyáuḥ pitár yāvaya duḥśúnā yā́ ||
For our prayer, come ye together, O Aśvins; aid us forth, guard us with wide protection, O wide-might, unfailing. O Heaven, our Father, drive away the evil-omen that assails.
Zu unserem Gebet kommt zusammen, o Aśvins; führt uns zur Hilfe, behütet uns mit weitem Schutz, o Weitmächtige, Unfehlende. O Himmel, unser Vater, treibe das Unheilzeichen fort, das uns anfällt.
