ārā́c charavyā̀ asmád víṣūcīr indra pātaya ||1||
Let not the piercers find us, nor let the penetraters find [us]; far from us make the volleys (çaravyā̀) fly, dispersing, O Indra.

víṣvañco asmác cháravaḥ patantu yé astā́ yé cāsyā̀ḥ |
daivīr manuṣyesavo mámāmitrān ví vidhyata ||2||
Dispersing from us let the shafts fly, those that are hurled and that are to be hurled; ye divine arrows of men (manuṣyà-), pierce my enemies.

yó naḥ svó yó áraṇaḥ sajātá utá níṣṭyo yó asmā́m̐ abhidā́sati |
rudráḥ śaravyàyaitā́n mámāmítrān ví vidhyatu ||3||
Whether one of our own or whether a stranger, fellow or outsider, whoso assails (abhi-dās) us—let Rudra with a volley pierce those my enemies.
1.19.4
yáḥ sapátno yó 'sapatno yáś ca dviṣán chápāti naḥ |
devā́s táṃ sárve dhūrvantu bráhma várma mámā́ntaram ||4||
Whatever rival (sapátna), whatever non-rival, and whatever hater shall curse us, him let all the gods damage (dhūrv); incantation (bráhman) is my inner defense.
