स नः॒ सिन्धु॑मिव ना॒वाति॑ पर्ष स्व॒स्तये॑ । अप॑ नः॒ शोशु॑चद॒घम्
sá naḥ síndhum iva nā́vā́ti parṣa svastáye | ápa naḥ śóśucat aghám
So bear us over, for our welfare, as in a boat across the Sindhu: scorch thou away from us the evil.
Assim faze-nos atravessar, para o nosso bem-estar, como numa barca através do Sindhu. Abrasa, queima para longe de nós o mal.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Svastí (well-being) as goal; protective agency as the effective ‘boat’
