Sukta 8
अ॒नु॒ह॒वं प॑रिह॒वं प॑रिवा॒दं प॑रिक्ष॒वम्। सर्वै॑र्मे रिक्तकु॒म्भान् परा॒ तान् स॑वितः सुव
anuhaváṃ parihaváṃ parivādáṃ parikṣavám | sárvair me riktakúmbhān parā́ tā́n savitaḥ suva
The after-call, the roaming call, the circling slander, the recurrent sneeze—these all, and the empty pots besides—drive thou them far away from me, O Savitar; impel them hence.
सवितर भगवान से दुआ है कि वो हमसे दूर भगा दे। लोगों की बड़बड़, घूमने वाली बातें, इल्ज़म लगाना, और छींकना, यह सब बुरी चीज़ें हटा दे। खाली बर्तन भी हमसे दूर कर दे। सवितर इन सब को ले जा।
