Let Br̥haspati bear our thought across the deep and perilous flood; yet the speaker of wickedness, he turneth back upon himself.
He casteth forth the curse, and striketh down all spite; then bringeth he forth fortune and breath to him that offereth.

Let Narāśaṃsa aid us at the forepart of the gift; let the after-offering be for us a token of blessing at the calling of names.
He casteth forth the curse, and striketh down all spite; then bringeth he forth fortune and breath to him that offereth.

Let him whose head doth burn with flame scorch the brood of demons; and them that scorn the hallowed speech, let his shaft strike through.
He casteth forth the curse, and striketh down all spite; then bringeth he forth fortune and breath to him that offereth.
