Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 4.19.8

śaténa mā́ pári pāhi sahásreṇā́bhí rakṣa mā | índras te vīrudhā́m pata ugrá ójmānam ā́ dadhat

With a hundredfold guard encompass me; with a thousandfold defend me from assault. Indra, the fierce, hath for thee—O lord of plants—set in place the might of strength.

سو گنا حفاظت سے مجھے گھیر لے؛ ہزار گنا سے مجھے حملے سے بچا۔ اندر، پرم شکتی والا، تجھ کے لیے - اے پودوں کے مالک - طاقت کی قدرت رکھ دی ہے۔
