manyā-vināśanám páñca ca yā́ḥ pañcāśác ca saṃyánti mányā abhí | itás tā́ḥ sárvā naśyantu vākā́ apacítām iva ||
English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)
A charm for the undoing of wrath: the five—and the fifty—that gather and assail as wraths; from hence let them all vanish away, like cows of the untended that stray.
