यौ श्या॒वाश्व॒मव॑थो वाध्र्य॒श्वं मित्रा॑वरुणा पुरुमी॒ढमत्रिम्। यौ वि॑म॒दमव॑थः स॒प्तव॑ध्रिं॒ तौ नो॑ मुञ्चत॒मंह॑सः
yáu śyāvā́śvam ávatho vādhryā́śvaṃ mitrā́varuṇā purumī́ḍham átrim | yáu vímadam ávathaḥ saptávadhriṃ táu no muñcatam áṃhasaḥ
Ye who aided Śyāvāśva, aided Vādhryaśva, O Mitra, Varuṇa, Purumīḍha, Atri; ye who aided Vimada, aided Saptavadhri— from anguish and from sin release ye us.
