Against evil influence of a sky-drop

From the sky now, from the great atmosphere, a drop of water hath fallen upon me with essence (rása); with Indra's power, with milk, O Agni, [may] I [be joined], with the meters, with offerings, with the deed of the well-doing.

English · William Dwight Whitney

If from a tree it hath fallen upon [me], that is fruit; if from the atmosphere, that is merely Vāyu; on whatever part of my body, and what part of my garment, it hath touched, let the waters thrust perdition away.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

A fragrant ointment, a success is that; gold, splendor, just purifying is that. All purifiers [are] stretched out from us; let not perdition pass that, nor the niggard.
