मा नो॒ गुह्या॒ रिप॑ आ॒योरह॑न्दभ॒न्मा न॑ आ॒भ्यो री॑रधो दु॒च्छुना॑भ्यः । मा नो॒ वि यौः॑ स॒ख्या वि॒द्धि तस्य॑ नः सुम्नाय॒ता मन॑सा॒ तत्त्वे॑महे
mā no guhyā ripa āyorahandabhanmā na ābhyo rīradho ducchunābhyaḥ mā no vi yauḥ sakhyā viddhi tasya naḥ sumnāyatā manasā tattvemahe
Let not the hidden enemy approach the twofold cow‑wealth; do not take from the near who are dear. Know the unity of those two companions; by the mind we are established in that truth.
Let not the secret guile of man, (Indra), harm us by day (or night); leave us not subject to the malevolent, disunite us not from your frienship; regard us with the favourable thoughts that (spring) from it; we ask this (boon) of you.
Let not man's guile annoy us, secret or by day: give not us up a prey to these calamities. Sever not thou our friendship: think thereon for us. This, with a heart that longs for bliss, we seek from thee.
