देवपत्न्यः। दे॒वानां॒ पत्नी॑रुश॒तीर॑वन्तु नः॒ प्राव॑न्तु नस्तु॒जये॒ वाज॑सातये । याः पार्थि॑वासो॒ या अ॒पामपि॑ व्र॒ते ता नो॑ देवीः सु॒हवाः॒ शर्म॑ यच्छन्तु

Let the willing Consorts of the Gods befriend us; yea, let them guard us onward, for onset and for winning of the prize. Whether they be of earth, or whether in the ordinance of the waters, let those Goddesses, easy to invoke, bestow on us a sheltering peace.
