Transliteration
áva no vṛjinā́ śiśīhy ṛcā́ vanemā́nṛcaḥ | nábrahmā yajñá ṛ́dhag jóṣati tvé ||
Translation
ഞങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നു വക്രതയെ—അസത്യഗതിയുടെ കപടതയെ—മൂർച്ഛപ്പെടുത്തി അകറ്റണമേ; ഋചാ, സത്യോച്ചാരത്താൽ, വാണി (ബ്രഹ്മ) ഇല്ലാത്തവരാകാതെ ഞങ്ങൾ വിജയം നേടട്ടെ. ബ്രഹ്മ-ബലം ഇല്ലാത്ത യജ്ഞം നിന്നിൽ നിന്നു വേർപെട്ട് ആസ്വദിക്കാതിരിക്കട്ടെ.
