In union with holy speech, let Agni, smiter of fiends, drive hence all ill-named blight that lieth upon thy seed, within thy womb.

Whatso foul-named harm doth rest upon thy child unborn, Agni hath cast it out with hallowed word; he hath driven off the flesh-devourer.

Whoso striketh thy seed as it soareth, as it is set, as it stirreth within—
whoso seeketh to smite thy young at birth— we cast him out from this place.

Whoso sunders thy thighs, lies in wait betwixt man and wife,
whoso licketh within thy womb—
we drive him hence.

Whoso, as brother, husband, or lewd lover, descendeth upon thee, and seeketh harm for thy young— from here, we cast him out.

Whoso, having dulled thee with slumber and shadow, descendeth upon thee, and seeketh to smite thy fruit— we cast him out from this place.
