19.47.7

mā́śvānāṃ bhadre táskaro mā́ nr̥ṇā́ṃ yātudhānyàḥ |
paramébhiḥ pathíbhi stenó dhāvatu táskaraḥ |
páreṇa datvátī rájjuḥ páreṇāghāyúr arṣatu ||7||

Let no demon, [no] mischief-plotter master us; let no evil-plotter master us; let no thief today master our kine, nor a wolf our sheep;—
7, 8 a, b. (7.) Nor a robber our horses, O excellent one; nor the sorceresses our men.
By the most distant roads let the thief, the robber, run; by a distant one let the toothed rope, by a distant one let the malignant hasten (ṛṣ).
8 c, d, 9 a, b. (8.) Do thou, O night, make the snake blind, harsh-smoked (?), headless; grind up the two jaws of the wolf; cast (ā-han) the thief into the snare.
9 c, d, 10. (9.) With thee, O night, we stay; we shall sleep, do thou watch; yield refuge to our kine, horses, men (púruṣa).
