AVŚ 19.16.2

दिवो मादित्या रक्षतु भूम्या रक्षन्त्व् अग्नयः । इन्द्राग्नी रक्षतां मा पुरस्ताद् अश्विनाव् अभितः शर्म यछताम् । तिरश्चीन् अघ्न्या रक्षतु जातवेदा भूतकृतो मे सर्वतः सन्तु वर्म ॥२॥

divo mādityā rakṣatu bhūmyā rakṣantv agnayaḥ | indrāgnī rakṣatāṃ mā purastād aśvināv abhitaḥ śarma yachatām | tiraścīn aghnyā rakṣatu jātavedā bhūtakṛto me sarvataḥ santu varma ||2||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

From the sky let the Ādityas defend me; from the earth let the fires defend; let Indra-and-Agni defend me in front; let the Açvins yield (yam) refuge round about; crosswise let the inviolable [cow], let Jātavedas, defend [me]; let the being-makers be my defense (várman) on all sides.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
