Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 6.3.2

pā́tāṃ no dyā́vā-pṛthivī́ abhíṣṭaye pā́tu grā́vā pā́tu sómo no áṃhasaḥ | pā́tu no devī́ subhágā sárasvatī pā́tv agníḥ śivā́ yé asyá pā́yavaḥ ||

Let Heaven and Earth protect us for succor; let the Pressing-stone protect; let Soma protect us from distress. Let the Goddess, gracious Sarasvatī, protect us; let Agni protect—(he) whose guardians are auspicious.

Semoga Langit dan Bumi melindungi kami demi pertolongan; semoga batu pemeras (grāvā) melindungi; semoga Soma melindungi kami daripada kesesakan. Semoga Dewi Sarasvatī yang mujur melindungi kami; semoga Agni melindungi—dia yang para penjaganya bersifat śiva (membawa berkat).
