ब्रह्मणाग्निः संविदानो रक्षोहा बाधताम् इतः । अमीवा यस् ते गर्भं दुर्णामा योनिम् आशये ॥
brahmaṇāgniḥ saṃvidāno rakṣohā bādhatām itaḥ | amīvā yas te garbhaṃ durṇāmā yonim āśaye ||
May Agni, yielding to our prayer, the Raksas-slayer, drive away The malady of evil name that hath beset thy labouring womb.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यस् ते गर्भम् अमीवा दुर्णामा योनिम् आशये । अग्निष् टम् ब्रह्मणा सह निष् क्रव्यादम् अनीनशत् ॥
yas te garbham amīvā durṇāmā yonim āśaye | agniṣ ṭam brahmaṇā saha niṣ kravyādam anīnaśat ||
Agni, concurring in the prayer, drive off the eater of the flesh, The malady of evil name that hath attacked thy babe and womb.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यस् ते हन्ति पतयन्तं निषत्स्नुं यः सरीसृपम् । जातं यस् ते जिघांसति तम् इतो नाशयामसि ॥
yas te hanti patayantaṃ niṣatsnuṃ yaḥ sarīsṛpam | jātaṃ yas te jighāṃsati tam ito nāśayāmasi ||
That which destroys the sinking germ, the settled, moving embryo, That which will kill the babe at birth, even this will we drive far away.

यस् त ऊरू विहरत्य् अन्तरा दम्पती शये । योनिं यो अन्तर् आरेळ्हि तम् इतो नाशयामसि ॥
yas ta ūrū viharaty antarā dampatī śaye | yoniṃ yo antar āreḷhi tam ito nāśayāmasi ||
That which divides thy legs that it may lie between the married pair, That penetrates and licks thy side, even this will we exterminate.

What rests by thee in borrowed form of brother, lover, or of lord, And would destroy thy Progeny, even this will we exterminate.
