Sukta 45
अवशसा निःशसा यत् पराशसोपारिम जाग्रतो यत् स्वपन्तः । अग्निर्विश्वान्यप दुष्कृतान्यजुष्टान्यारे अस्मद् दधातु
ávaśasā níḥśasā yát parāśásopārím jā́grato yát svapántaḥ | agnír víśvāny ápa duṣkṛtā́ny ájuṣṭāny āré asmád dadhātu ||
By exhalation, by inhalation—whatsoever excess of strayings there be, whether of one awake or of one sleeping—let Agni put away, far from us, all misdeeds, all things unapproved.
