आ॒रे ते॑ गो॒घ्नमु॒त पू॑रुष॒घ्नं क्षय॑द्वीर सु॒म्नम॒स्मे ते॑ अस्तु । मृ॒ळा च॑ नो॒ अधि॑ च ब्रूहि दे॒वाधा॑ च नः॒ शर्म॑ यच्छ द्वि॒बर्हाः॑
āre te goghnamuta pūruṣaghnaṃ kṣayadvīra sumnamasme te astu mṛḷā ca no adhi ca brūhi devādhā ca naḥ śarma yaccha dvibarhāḥ
Remove from us the slayer of kine and the slayer of men; let the heroic welfare be ours. Speak to us kindly and tell us what is above; grant to us, O gods, protection that brings modesty.
Destroyer of heroes, may your cow-killing or man-slaying (weapon) be far away, and let the felicity granted by you be ours; favour us; speak, brilliant hero, in our behalf, and grant us, you who are mighty over the two (realms of heaven and earth), prosperity.
Far be thy dart that killeth men or cattle: thy bliss be with us, O thou Lord of Heroes. Be gracious unto us, O God, and bless us, and then vouchsafe us doubly-strong protection.
