Sukta 3
परे॑णैतु प॒था वृकः॑ पर॒मेणो॒त तस्क॑रः । परे॑ण द॒त्वती॒ रज्जुः॒ परे॑णाघा॒युर॑र्षतु
paréṇaitu pathā́ vṛkáḥ paraméṇóta taskaráḥ | paréṇa datvatī́ rájjuḥ paréṇāghāyúr arṣatu
By the farther path let the wolf depart; by the farthest, yea, the thief. By the farther way let the toothed cord (the noose) pass; by the farther let the evil-willed one rush away.
Nguyện cho sói đi theo con đường xa hơn mà rời đi; nguyện cho kẻ trộm đi theo con đường xa nhất—quả thật. Nguyện cho sợi dây có răng (thòng lọng) đi qua theo con đường xa hơn; nguyện cho kẻ ôm lòng ác chạy vút đi theo con đường xa hơn.
