Sanskrit Original
मा नो॑ वधी रुद्र॒ मा परा॑ दा॒ मा ते॑ भूम॒ प्रसि॑तौ हीळि॒तस्य॑ । आ नो॑ भज ब॒र्हिषि॑ जीवशं॒से यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभिः॒ सदा॑ नः
mā no vadhī rudra mā parā dā mā te bhūma prasitau hīḷitasya ā no bhaja barhiṣi jīvaśaṃse yūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
Do not slay us, Rudra; do not give the supreme blow; do not let the earth be offended. Protect us with offerings; accompany us with life—guard us always with auspiciousness.
Harm us not, Rudra; abandon us not; let us not fall under the bondage of you when displeased; makeus partakers of the life-promotion sacrifice; and do you, (gods), ever cherish us with blessings.
Slay us not, nor abandon us, O Rudra let not thy noose, when thou art angry, seize us. Give us trimmed grass and fame among the living. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
