For a child born at an unlucky time

Since, an ancient one, to be praised at the sacrifices, thou sittest as hótar both of old and recent—do thou, O Agni, both gratify thine own self, and bestow (ā-yaj) good fortune on us.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Born in jyeṣṭhaghnī́, in Yama's two Unfasteners (vicṛ́t)—do thou protect him from the Uprooter (mūlabárhaṇa); may he conduct him across all difficulties unto long life, of a hundred autumns.

English · William Dwight Whitney

On the tiger day hath been born the hero, asterism-born, being born rich in heroes; let him not, increasing, slay his father; let him not harm his mother that gave him birth.
