śaptā́ram anvichán máma vŕ̥ka ivā́vimato gr̥hám ||1||
Hither hath come forth, having harnessed his chariot, the thousand-eyed curse, seeking after my curser, as a wolf the house of a sheepowner.

pári ṇo vr̥ṅgdhi śapatha hradám agnír ivā dáhan |
śaptā́ram átra no jahi divó vr̥kṣám ivāśániḥ ||2||
Avoid us, O curse, as a burning fire a pond; smite our curser here, as the bolt from heaven a tree.

śúne péṣṭram ivā́vakṣāmaṃ táṃ práty asyāmi mr̥tyáve ||3||
Whoever shall curse us not cursing, and whoever shall curse us cursing, him, withered (?), I cast forth for death, as a bone (?) for a dog.
