AVŚ 8.3.1

रक्षोहणं वाजिनम् आ जिघर्मि मित्रं प्रथिष्ठम् उप यामि शर्म । शिशानो अग्निः क्रतुभिः समिद्धः स नो दिवा स रिषः पातु नक्तम् ॥१॥

rakṣohaṇaṃ vājinam ā jigharmi mitraṃ prathiṣṭham upa yāmi śarma | śiśāno agniḥ kratubhiḥ samiddhaḥ sa no divā sa riṣaḥ pātu naktam ||1||

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

I pour ghee upon (a-ghṛ) the vigorous (vājín) demon-slayer; I go for broadest protection to the friend; Agni, sharpened, [is] kindled with acts of skill (? krátu); let him by day, let him by night, protect us from harm.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
