मा नो रक्षो अभि नड् यातुमावदपोच्छन्तु मिथुना ये किमीदिनः । पृथिवी नः पार्थिवात् पात्वंहसोऽन्तरिक्षं दिव्यात् पात्वस्मान्

Let not the Rākṣas come leaping against us, unavailing to harm; away let the paired Kīmīdin fiends be chased. Let Earth from earthly peril guard us from distress; let Mid-air from heavenly peril guard us.
