मा कस्य॑ य॒क्षं सद॒मिद्धु॒रो गा॒ मा वे॒शस्य॑ प्रमिन॒तो मापेः । मा भ्रातु॑रग्ने॒ अनृ॑जोरृ॒णं वे॒र्मा सख्यु॒र्दक्षं॑ रि॒पोर्भु॑जेम
mā kasya yakṣaṃ sadamiddhuro gā mā veśasya praminato māpeḥ mā bhrāturagne anṛjorṛṇaṃ vermā sakhyurdakṣaṃ riporbhujema
Do not let anyone seize the share of the house; do not let the robber trample my portion. O Agni, do not let the brother’s treacherous debt oppress me; may I not touch the enemy’s arm.
Go not ever, Agni, to the sacrifice of any one who injures us; nor to that of a malevolent neighbour, nor to that of an (unnatural) relation; accept not the due (oblation) from an insincere brother; let us not derive enjoyment from the enemy of a friend.
Go never to the feast of one who harms us, the treacherous neighbour or. unworthy kinsman. Punish us not for a false brother's trespass. Let us riot feel the might of friend or foeman.
