Mantra 3
Sukta 29
अवैरहत्यायेदमा पपत्यात् सुवीरताया इदमा ससद्यात्। पराङेव परा वद पराचीमनु संवतम्। यथा यमस्य त्वा गृहेऽरसं प्रतिचाकशानाभूकं प्रतिचाकशान्

For freedom from hatred may this fly hither; for goodly heroism may this here settle. As one turned outward, speak thou away—awayward through the year. Even as in Yama’s house, joyless, looking back—so, looking back, depart thou harmless.
