Sukta 18
अ॒प॒मृज्य॑ यातु॒धाना॒नप॒ सर्वा॑ अरा॒य्यः । अपा॑मार्ग॒ त्वया॑ व॒यं सर्वं॒ तदप॒ मृज्महे
apamṛ́jya yātudhā́nān ápa sárvā arā́yyaḥ | apāmārga tváyā vayáṃ sárvaṃ tád ápa mṛ́jmahe ||
Wiping away the sorcerers, away (go) all malignities. O Apāmārga, by thee we wipe away all that entire (brood).
เมื่อปัดเป่าพวกผู้ทำไสยแล้ว ขอความอัปมงคลทั้งปวงจงถอยไป. โอ อปามารคะ (Apāmārga) ด้วยท่าน เราทั้งหลายปัดเป่าสิ่งนั้นทั้งหมด—ทั้งฝูงนั้น—ให้สิ้นไป.
