RV 2.42.2

मा त्वा श्येन उद् वधीन् मा सुपर्णो मा त्वा विदद् इषुमान् वीरो अस्ता । पित्र्याम् अनु प्रदिशं कनिक्रदत् सुमङ्गलो भद्रवादी वदेह ॥

mā tvā śyena ud vadhīn mā suparṇo mā tvā vidad iṣumān vīro astā | pitryām anu pradiśaṃ kanikradat sumaṅgalo bhadravādī vadeha ||

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

Let not the falcon kill thee, nor the eagle let not the arrow-bearing archer reach thee. Still crying in the region of the Fathers, speak here auspicious, bearing joyful tidings.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
