O thou of thousand dwelling-places, with thy shadow make it crestless, make it neckless. Thou verily hast turned back the witchcraft—bear thou the dear one to him that holds it dear.
О ты, имеющий тысячу обителей, своей тенью сделай её без гребня, без головы; сделай её без шеи. Воистину ты отразил(а) колдовство (kṛtyā): унеси милого(ую) к тому, кто его(её) любит.
