मा नो मेधां मा नो दीक्षां मा नो हिंसिष्टं यत् तपः । शिवा नः शं सन्त्व् आयुषे शिवा भवन्तु मातरः ॥३॥

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

Do not ye injure our wisdom, nor our consecration, nor what ardor (tápas) is ours; be they propitious to us in order to [prolonged] life-time; let them become [our] propitious mothers.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
