Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 12.2.47

imám índraṃ váhniṃ páprim ánv ārabhadhvaṃ sá vo nír vakṣad duritā́d avadyā́t | ténā́pa hata śárum ā́patantaṃ ténā́ rudrásya pári pātā stā́m ||

Lay hold on this Indra, bearer and protector; he shall lead you forth from evil and from blame. With him smite off the arrow as it flieth toward you; with him, from Rudra’s power, may ye be guarded round about—so be it.

จงยึดเหนี่ยวอินทระองค์นี้ ผู้เป็นพาหะและผู้พิทักษ์; พระองค์จักนำพวกท่านออกไปจากความชั่วร้ายและจากมลทินแห่งคำติเตียน. ด้วยพระองค์จงฟาดให้ลูกศรที่พุ่งมาหาท่านตกไป; ด้วยพระองค์ขอให้พวกท่านได้รับการคุ้มครองโดยรอบจากอำนาจของรุทระ—ขอให้เป็นดังนั้น.
