हवी॑मभि॒र्हव॑ते॒ यो ह॒विर्भि॒रव॒ स्तोमे॑भी रु॒द्रं दि॑षीय । ऋ॒दू॒दरः॑ सु॒हवो॒ मा नो॑ अ॒स्यै ब॒भ्रुः सु॒शिप्रो॑ रीरधन्म॒नायै॑
havīmabhirhavate yo havirbhirava stomebhī rudraṃ diṣīya ṛdūdaraḥ suhavo mā no asyai babhruḥ suśipro rīradhanmanāyai
By the havyas the havir is invoked who through offerings calls Rudra; O Rudra, pleasant bellower, may that hairless (shorn) one be for us, shining, swift for the chariot.
May I pacify by my praises that Rudra, who is worshipped with invocations and oblations; and never may he who is soft-bellied, of a tawny hue, and handsome chin; who is reverently invoked; subject us to that malevolent disposition (that purposes our destruction).
May I with praise-songs win that Rudra's favour who is adored with gifts and invocations. Ne'er may the tawny God, fair-checked, and gracious, swifthearing, yield us to this evil purpose.
