For release from evil

An untier, do thou untie off us the fetters that are highest, lowest, that are Varuṇa's; remove (nis-sū) from us evil-dreaming [and] difficulty; then may we go to the world of the well-done.

English · William Dwight Whitney

If (yát) thou art bound in wood, and if in a rope; if thou art bound in the earth, and if by a spell (vā́c)—may this householder's-fire lead us up from that to the world of the well-done.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

Arisen are the two blessed stars named the Unfasteners; let them bestow here of immortality (amṛ́ta); let the releaser of the bound advance.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

Go thou apart; make room; mayest thou free the bound one from the bond; like a young fallen out of the womb, do thou dwell along all roads.
