Mantra 13
Sukta 5
नैनं घ्नन्त्यप्सरसो न गन्धर्वा न मर्त्याः । सर्वा दिशो वि राजति यो बिभर्तीमं मणिम्
náinaṁ ghnanty apsaráso ná gandharvā́ ná mártyāḥ | sárvā díśo ví rājati yó bíbharṭīmáṁ maṇím ||
Not Apsarases smite him, nor Gandharvas, nor mortal men: over all the quarters he shineth forth, who beareth this amulet.
