मर्माविधं रोरुवतं सुपर्णैरदन्तु दुश्चितं मृदितं शयानम्। य इमां प्रतीचीमाहुतिममित्रो नो युयुत्सति

Pierced in his vital parts, howling—let the fair-winged devour him, the ill-devised, crushed down, lying low: the foe who would contend with us, and turn this oblation back against us.
Perforado en sus partes vitales, aullando—que los de bellas alas lo devoren, al malintencionado, aplastado, tendido en el suelo: al enemigo que quiere contender con nosotros y volver contra nosotros esta oblación.
