Sanskrit (Devanagari)

तदमुष्मा अग्ने देवाः परा वहन्तु वघ्रिर्यथासद् विथुरो न साधुः

IAST Transliteration

tád amúṣmai agne devā́ḥ párā vahantu vághrir yáthāsad víthuró ná sādhúḥ

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

That, O Agni, let the Gods bear away unto yonder one—so that the Vaghrí be brought to naught, shattered, and of no avail.

Translation

ಅಗ್ನೇ, ಅದನ್ನು ದೇವರುಗಳು ಅಮುಷ್ಮೈ (ಅತ್ತ ಕಡೆ) ದೂರಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊತ್ತುಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗಲಿ—ವಘ್ರಿ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣವಾಗಿ ನಿಷ್ಫಲವಾಗಿ, ಚೂರಾಗಿ, ಯಾವ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವೂ ಇಲ್ಲದವನಾಗಲಿ.
