अङ्गादङ्गात् प्र च्यावय हृदयं परि वर्जय । अधा विषस्य यत् तेजोऽवाचीनं तदेतु ते

From limb to limb thrust it forth; from the heart turn it away. Then—whatever fiery might of poison is downward-bent—let that depart from thee.

Devata: Viṣa (poison) as the addressed/commanded agency; implicitly protective power of mantra.
