Devata: Soma (Indu) as protector and purifier

सनेमि त्वमस्मदाँ अदेवं कं चिदत्रिणम् । साह्वाँ इन्दो परि बाधो अप द्वयुम् ॥

sánemi tvám asmád ā́ ádevaṃ káṃ cid atríṇam | sāhvā́ṃ indo pári bā́dho ápa dvayúm ||

Даруй нам победу; приведи к нам, с нашей стороны, одоление всякого безбожного пожирателя, что бы ни приблизился. О Инду, стойкий в терпении, оттесни прочь — отгони со всех сторон — раздвоенного сомневающегося, двуумную силу, что расслаивает существо.
