ये पा॑कशं॒सं वि॒हर॑न्त॒ एवै॒र्ये वा॑ भ॒द्रं दू॒षय॑न्ति स्व॒धाभिः॑ । अह॑ये वा॒ तान्प्र॒ददा॑तु॒ सोम॒ आ वा॑ दधातु॒ निरृ॑तेरु॒पस्थे॑
ye pākaśaṃsaṃ viharanta evairye vā bhadraṃ dūṣayanti svadhābhiḥ ahaye vā tānpradadātu soma ā vā dadhātu nirṛterupasthe
Those who freely handle the cook’s portion and thus defile the good with offerings of their own, may Soma not grant them or give them to us; let the false ones not stand before the ear of truth.
May Soma give to the serpent, or toss upon the lap of Nirṛti, those who with designing (accusative ations)person cute me, a speaker of sincerely, and those who by spiteful (calumnies) vilify all that is good in me.
Those who destroy, as is their wont, the simple, and with their evil natures barm the righteous, May Soma give them over to the serpent, or to the lap of Nirrti consign them.
