यदि॒ वासि॑ दे॒वकृ॑ता॒ यदि॑ वा॒ पुरु॑षैः कृ॒ता। तां त्वा॒ पुन॑र्णयाम॒सीन्द्रे॑ण स॒युजा॑ व॒यम्
yádi vā́si devákṛtā yádi vā́ púruṣaiḥ kṛtā | tā́m tvā́ púnar nayāmasī́ndreṇa sayújā vayám ||
If thou be wrought by Gods, or if by men thou hast been wrought, thee—this same spell—we lead we back again, we in joint yoke with Indra.
यह जादू देवियों का है या इंसानों का, किसी का भी हो। हम उसे वापस ले आते हैं। इंद्र के साथ मिल के हम इसका उल्टा असर करते हैं।
