Transliteration
ná tám áṃho ná duritáṃ kútaś caná nā́rātayas titirúr ná dvayā́vinaḥ | víśvā íd asmād dhvaráso ví bādhase yáṃ su-gopā́ rakṣasi brahmaṇas-pate ||
Translation
Ni détresse ni mal d’aucun côté, ni assaillants hostiles ni êtres à double jeu ne franchissent celui que tu gardes. Toutes les violences tortueuses, tu les repousses loin de lui — de celui que tu protèges si bien, ô Brahmanaspati, Maître de la Parole.
