ग्रावा॒ वद॒न्नप॒ रक्षां॑सि सेधतु दु॒ष्ष्वप्न्यं॒ निरृ॑तिं॒ विश्व॑म॒त्रिण॑म् । आ॒दि॒त्यं शर्म॑ म॒रुता॑मशीमहि॒ तद्दे॒वाना॒मवो॑ अ॒द्या वृ॑णीमहे
grāvā vadannapa rakṣāṃsi sedhatu duṣṣvapnyaṃ nirṛtiṃ viśvamatriṇam ādityaṃ śarma marutāmaśīmahi taddevānāmavo adyā vṛṇīmahe
Drive away the herds' talk of harm; repel bad dreams and falsehood that pervades the world. May we spread the splendour of the Aditi (Aditya), may we be clothed in the glory of the Maruts; today may we choose the gods' strength.
May the sounding stone drive away rākṣasas, evil dreams, Nirṛti, and every spirit of ill; may weobtain the happiness of the Ādityas and the Maruts; we solicit today this protection of the gods.
May ringing press-stones keep the Raksasas afar, ill dream, and Nirrti, and each voracious fiend. May the Adityas and the Maruts shelter us. We crave this gracious favour of the Gods to-day.
