प्रति स्मरेथां तुजयद्भिरेवैर्हतं द्रुहो रक्षसो भङ्गुरावतः । इन्द्रासोमा दुष्कृते मा सुगं भूद्यो नः कदा चिदभिदासति द्रुहा ॥

práti smarethāṁ tujā́yadbhir évair hatáṁ druhó rákṣaso bhaṅgurā́vataḥ | índrāsomā duṣkṛ́te mā́ sugáṁ bhūd yó naḥ kadā́ cid abhídāsati druhā́ ||

Recordad y responded con impulsos vencedores; abatid al engañador, al Rakṣas que llega con gritos devastadores. Oh Indra y Soma, que no haya camino fácil para el malhechor — quienquiera que sea, cuandoquiera que nos ataque con traición.
