To various divinities: for protection

Protect us, O Indra-and-Pūshan; let Aditi, let the Maruts protect; O child of the waters, ye seven rivers, protect; let Vishṇu protect us, also the heaven.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Let heaven-and-earth protect us in order to assistance (abhíṣṭi); let the pressing-stone protect, let Soma protect us from distress; let the fortunate goddess Sarasvatī protect us; let Agni protect us—the propitious protections that are his.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Let the divine Açvins, lords of beauty, protect us; let dawn-and-night also make broad for us; O child of the waters, in case of any detriment to [our] household; O divine Tvashṭar, increase [us] in order to our completeness.
