पातां नो द्यावापृथिवी अभिष्टये पातु ग्रावा पातु सोमो नो अंहसः । पातु नो देवी सुभगा सरस्वती पात्वग्निः शिवा ये अस्य पायवः

Let Heaven and Earth protect us for succor; let the Pressing-stone protect; let Soma protect us from distress. Let the Goddess, gracious Sarasvatī, protect us; let Agni protect—(he) whose guardians are auspicious.
