अ॒न॒मि॒त्रं नो॑ अध॒राद॑नमि॒त्रं न॑ उत्त॒रात्। इन्द्रा॑नमि॒त्रं नः॑ प॒श्चाद॑नमि॒त्रं पु॒रस्कृ॑धि
anamítraṃ no adharā́d anamítraṃ na uttarā́t | índrānamítraṃ naḥ paścā́d anamítraṃ puráḥ-kṛdhi ||
Foeless for us from below, foeless for us from above: O Indra, foeless for us from behind; foeless set thou in front.
Dari bawah jadikan kami tanpa musuh; dari atas jadikan kami tanpa musuh. Wahai Indra, dari belakang jadikan kami tanpa musuh; di hadapan pun tempatkanlah tanpa musuh.
