ajaiṣmādyāsanāma cābhūmānāgaso vayam uṣo yasmādduṣṣvapnyādabhaiṣmāpa taducchatvanehaso va ūtayaḥ suūtayo va ūtayaḥ
We were of old unassailable and made steadfast; dawn, from whom the harmful dreams withdrew, shine upon us with protection; O exalted ones, O heralds, be gracious to us.
May we be today victorious, and obtain (happiness); may we be free from evil; Uṣas, may that ill dreamdepart, of which we were afraid; your aids are void of harm, your aids are true aids.
Now have we conquered and obtained, and from our trespasses are free. Shine thou away the evil dream, O Dawn, whereof we are afraid. Yours are incomparable aids, and good the succour they afford.
