प्रति स्मरेथां तुजयद्भिरेवैर्हतं द्रुहो रक्षसो भङ्गुरावतः । इन्द्रासोमा दुष्कृते मा सुगं भूद्यो नः कदा चिदभिदासति द्रुहा ॥
Transliteration
práti smarethāṁ tujā́yadbhir évair hatáṁ druhó rákṣaso bhaṅgurā́vataḥ | índrāsomā duṣkṛ́te mā́ sugáṁ bhūd yó naḥ kadā́ cid abhídāsati druhā́ ||
Translation
Lembrai-vos e respondei com impulsos conquistadores; abatei o enganador, o Rakṣas que se aproxima com brados esmagadores. Ó Indra e Soma, que não haja caminho fácil para o malfeitor — seja quem for, sempre que nos assalte com perfídia.
