मा नो॒ वृका॑य वृ॒क्ये॑ समस्मा अघाय॒ते री॑रधता यजत्राः । यू॒यं हि ष्ठा र॒थ्यो॑ नस्त॒नूनां॑ यू॒यं दक्ष॑स्य॒ वच॑सो बभू॒व
mā no vṛkāya vṛkye samasmā aghāyate rīradhatā yajatrāḥ yūyaṃ hi ṣṭhā rathyo nastanūnāṃ yūyaṃ dakṣasya vacaso babhūva
Do not, O wolves, harm the assembly; let not the worshippers be injured. You indeed were the chariot—of the brave ones—and became a portion of Daksha’s command.
Subject us not, adorable (deities), to the robber or his wife; not to any one designing us harm; for you are the regulators of our person ns, of our strength, of our speech.
Give us not up to any evil creature, as spoil to wolf or she-wolf, O ye Holy. For ye are they who guide aright our bodies, ye are the rulers of our speech and vigour.
