IAST Transliteration

cákṣuṣo heté mánaso heté bráhmaṇo heté tápasaś ca heté | menyā́ menír asy aményayas te santu yé ’smā́n abhyaghā́yanti

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

O weapon of the eye, O weapon of the mind, O weapon of spell, O weapon of fervid power—thou art Menī, wrath: let those be without wrath, who against us purpose evil.
