Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 3.27.2

dákṣiṇā díg índro ’dhipátis tiraścīrājī rakṣitā́ pitára íṣavaḥ | tébhyo námo ’dhipátibhyo námo rakṣitṛ́bhyo náma íṣubhyo náma ébhyo astu | yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dvíṣmas táṃ vo jámbhe dadhmaḥ ||

The southern quarter—Indra is its overlord; Tiraścīrājī its guardian; the Fathers are its arrows. To them be reverence: reverence to the overlords, reverence to the protectors, reverence to the arrows—reverence be to these. Whoso hateth us, and whom we hate, him we set within your jaws.

ทิศใต้—อินทระ (Indra) เป็นเจ้าแห่งทิศนั้น; ติรัศจีราจี (Tiraścīrājī) เป็นผู้พิทักษ์; เหล่าบิดร (Pitaraḥ) คือหมู่บรรพชน เป็นศรของทิศนั้น. ขอนอบน้อมแด่ท่านทั้งหลาย: นอบน้อมแด่เจ้าแห่งทิศ, นอบน้อมแด่ผู้พิทักษ์, นอบน้อมแด่ศรทั้งหลาย—ขอนอบน้อมแด่สิ่งเหล่านี้. ผู้ใดเกลียดเรา และผู้ที่เรากลียด เราวางเขาไว้ในขากรรไกรของท่าน.
