He said to you: this will be for you, to be invoked in the deck-bearing rite; the sacrifice does not desire that which harms me nor the demon who harms me. It itself could wound our sleep with slaying, strike down evil thought. If the small fault leaks out, like a trickle it flows away.

May I be competent to utter (praise) for the (Soma) libation, sustaining existence, which, like the (deity) to be invoked, (Indra), goes abounding with food to (each) venerable (rite); the destroyer (of rākṣasas) at (each) venerable (rite). May that (libation) of itself repress with chastisement the malevolence of him who reviles us; let the thief fall downwards (and perish), like a little (water) running down (a declivity).

This may I utter to the present Soma-drop, which, meet to be invoked, with power, awakes the prayer, awakes the demon-slaying prayer. May he himself with darts of death drive far from us the scorner's hate. Far let him flee away who speaketh wickedness and vanish like a mote of dust.
