अ॒र्वाञ्चो॑ अ॒द्या भ॑वता यजत्रा॒ आ वो॒ हार्दि॒ भय॑मानो व्ययेयम् । त्राध्वं॑ नो देवा नि॒जुरो॒ वृक॑स्य॒ त्राध्वं॑ क॒र्ताद॑व॒पदो॑ यजत्राः
arvāñco adyā bhavatā yajatrā ā vo hārdi bhayamāno vyayeyam trādhvaṃ no devā nijuro vṛkasya trādhvaṃ kartādavapado yajatrāḥ
You, our worshippers, today are to be free from fear; drive away the wolf that snatches. Protect us, gods, from that very wolf; protect from the fall that the sacrificers face.
Adorable (deities), be present today, that, apprehensive of danger, I may feel sure of your healthy (support); protect us, gods, from the rapacity of the wolf; protect us, adorable (deities), from him who would work us misfortune.
Turn yourselves hitherward this day, ye Holy, that fearing in my heart I may approach you. Protect us, God; let not the wolf destroy us. Save us, ye Holy, from the pit and falling.
