For protection by various gods
For protection by various gods
Have set down apart the human deadly weapon Indra-and-Agni, Dhātar, Savitar, Bṛihaspati, king Soma, Varuṇa, the Açvins, Yama; let Pūshan protect us round about from death.
What [defenses] he who is lord of creation, Prajāpati, Mātariçvan, made for his creatures (prajā́), what ones the directions and the quarters put on (vas)—let those defenses (várman) be abundant (bahulá) for me.
What [defense] those gods fastened on themselves, when fighting for overlordship, what defense Indra made for himself, let that protect us on all sides.
Defense for me may heaven-and-earth, defense may day, defense may the sun, defense for me may all the gods make; let not the affrontress (? pratīcikā́) reach me.
