Mantra 2
Sukta 11
शं नो देवा विश्वदेवा भवन्तु शं सरस्वती सह धीभिरस्तु । शमभिषाचः शमु रातिषाचः शं नो दिव्याः पार्थिवाः शं नो अप्याः
śáṃ no devā́ viśvádevā bhavantu | śáṃ sárasvatī sahá dhī́bhir astu || śám abhíṣācaḥ śám u rātiṣā́caḥ | śáṃ no divyā́ḥ pārthivā́ḥ śáṃ no apyā́ḥ ||
Weal unto us—may the gods, the All-Gods, be gracious; weal—may Sarasvatī, together with inspired thoughts, be gracious. Weal (be) from the bewitchers, weal, yea, from the bounty-spoilers; weal unto us from the heavenly, the earthly; weal unto us from the watery (powers).

Devata: Viśvedevas; Sarasvatī; (apotropaic focus against) Abhiṣāc and Rātiṣāc; cosmic domains.
