अप न्यधुः पौरुषेयं वधं यम् इन्द्राग्नी धाता सविता बृहस्पतिः । सोमो राजा वरुणो अश्विना यमः पूषास्मान् परि पातु मृत्योः ॥१॥
apa nyadhuḥ pauruṣeyaṃ vadhaṃ yam indrāgnī dhātā savitā bṛhaspatiḥ | somo rājā varuṇo aśvinā yamaḥ pūṣāsmān pari pātu mṛtyoḥ ||1||
Have set down apart the human deadly weapon Indra-and-Agni, Dhātar, Savitar, Bṛihaspati, king Soma, Varuṇa, the Açvins, Yama; let Pūshan protect us round about from death.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यानि चकार भुवनस्य यस् पतिः प्रजापतिर् मातरिश्वा प्रजाभ्यः । प्रदिशो यानि वसते दिशश् च तानि मे वर्माणि बहुलानि सन्तु ॥२॥
yāni cakāra bhuvanasya yas patiḥ prajāpatir mātariśvā prajābhyaḥ | pradiśo yāni vasate diśaś ca tāni me varmāṇi bahulāni santu ||2||
What [defenses] he who is lord of creation, Prajāpati, Mātariçvan, made for his creatures (prajā́), what ones the directions and the quarters put on (vas)—let those defenses (várman) be abundant (bahulá) for me.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यत् ते तनूष्व् अनह्यन्त देवा द्युराजयो देहिनः । इन्द्रो यच् चक्रे वर्म तद् अस्मान् पातु विश्वतः ॥३॥
yat te tanūṣv anahyanta devā dyurājayo dehinaḥ | indro yac cakre varma tad asmān pātu viśvataḥ ||3||
What [defense] those gods fastened on themselves, when fighting for overlordship, what defense Indra made for himself, let that protect us on all sides.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
वर्म मे द्यावापृथिवी वर्माहर् वर्म सूर्यः । वर्म मे विश्वे देवाः क्रन् मा मा प्रापत् प्रतीचिका ॥४॥
varma me dyāvāpṛthivī varmāhar varma sūryaḥ | varma me viśve devāḥ kran mā mā prāpat pratīcikā ||4||
Defense for me may heaven-and-earth, defense may day, defense may the sun, defense for me may all the gods make; let not the affrontress (? pratīcikā́) reach me.
