For protection: to various gods

Let both the sky now and the earth, forethoughtful—let the bright (çukrá) great one, by the sacrificial gift, rescue (pṛ) me; let the svadhā́ favor (anu-ci) [me, let] Soma, Agni; let Vāyu protect us, [let] Savitar and Bhaga.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Again let breath, again let soul (ātmán) come unto us; again let sight, again let spirit (ásu) come unto us; let Vāiçvānara, our unharmed body-protector, stand between [us and] all difficulties.

English · William Dwight Whitney

We have become united with splendor, with fatness (páyas), with bodies (tanū́), with propitious mind; let Tvashṭar make for us here wider room; let him smooth down what of our body is torn apart.
