AVŚ 8.4.23

मा नो रक्षो अभि नड् यातुमावद् अपोछन्तु मिथुना ये किमीदिनः । पृथिवी नः पार्थिवात् पात्व् अंहसो ऽन्तरिक्षं दिव्यात् पात्व् अस्मान् ॥२३॥

mā no rakṣo abhi naḍ yātumāvad apochantu mithunā ye kimīdinaḥ | pṛthivī naḥ pārthivāt pātv aṃhaso 'ntarikṣaṃ divyāt pātv asmān ||23||

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

Let not the sorcerous demon reach us; let the kimīdíns that are paired fade away; let the earth protect us from earthly distress, let the atmosphere protect us from heavenly.
