श्या॒वद॑ता कुन॒खिना॑ ब॒ण्डेन॒ यत् स॒हासि॒म। अपा॑मार्ग॒ त्वया॑ व॒यं सर्वं॒ तदप॑ मृज्महे

Whatsoever with the dark-toothed, with the evil-nailed, with the binder we have consorted—O Apāmārga, by thee we wipe away from us all that utterly.
Tout ce que nous avons fait en compagnie du Dent-sombre, de l’Ongle-mauvais, du Lieur—ô Apāmārga, par toi nous effaçons de nous tout cela, entièrement.
