19.9.2

śāntā́ni pūrvarūpā́ṇi śāntáṃ no astu kr̥tākr̥tám |
śāntáṃ bhūtáṃ ca bhávyaṃ ca sárvam evá śám astu naḥ ||2||

Appeased be the foretokens, appeased for us be the-done-and-undone, appeased both what is and what is to be: be just everything weal for us.
The comm. explains pūrvarūpāṇi first as kāryāpekṣayā kāraṇāvasthāpannāni vastūni, and again as "former births, the fruit of evil deeds." Instead of nas in b it reads me; and it points out that 'the done' means what is done that should not be done, and 'the undone' what was left undone that should have been done—which is far from necessary or certain.
