Sukta 17
दौष्व॑प्न्यं॒ दौर्जी॑वित्यं॒ रक्षो॑ अ॒भ्वऽमरा॒य्यः । दु॒र्णाम्नीः॒ सर्वा॑ दु॒र्वाच॒स्ता अ॒स्मन्ना॑शयामसि
daúṣvapnyaṁ daúrjīvit́yaṁ rákṣo abhvá amārā́yyaḥ | durnā́mnīḥ sárvā durvā́cas tā́ asmán nāśayāmasi ||
Evil dreaming and evil living, the demon, the monstrous, the death-dealing; all ill-named powers, all evil speeches—these from us we cause to perish.
Ác mộng và đời sống ác, rākṣasa và điều ghê gớm, thứ gieo chết chóc; mọi quyền lực mang tên xấu, mọi lời nói dữ—chúng tôi khiến tất cả ấy tiêu vong khỏi chúng tôi.
