Hear this, O ye gods that are worshipful (yajñíya); Bharadvāja sings (çaṅs) hymns (ukthá) for me; let him, bound in a fetter, be plunged (ni-yuj) in difficulty who injures this our mind.

O heaven-and-earth, attend (ā-dīdhī) ye after me; O all ye gods, take ye hold (ā-rabh) after me; O Angirases, Fathers, soma-feasting (somyá), let the doer of abhorrence (apakāmá) meet with (ā-ṛ) evil.

Whoso, O Maruts, thinks himself above us, or whoso shall revile our incantation (bráhman) that is being performed—for him let his wrongdoings be burnings (tápus); the sky shall concentrate its heat (sam-tap) upon the bráhman-hater.
