Sukta 33
त्वं हि वि॑श्वतोमुख वि॒श्वतः॑ परि॒भूरसि॑ । अप॑ नः॒ शोशु॑चद॒घम्
tváṃ hí viśvatomukha viśvátaḥ paribhū́r ási | ápa naḥ śóśucat aghám
For thou, O All-faced, art the overmasterer on every side: scorch thou away from us the evil.
เพราะท่านแลคือ “ผู้มีพักตร์ทั่วทิศ” ผู้ครอบงำและแผ่ปกคลุมโดยรอบทุกด้าน—ขอจงเผาผลาญและขจัดความชั่วร้าย (agham) อันเร่าร้อนออกไปจากเราเถิด.

Primary: vira
Secondary: shanta
