6.53.1
dyáuś ca ma idáṃ pr̥thivī́ ca prácetasau śukró br̥hán dákṣiṇayā pipartu |
ánu svadhā́ cikitāṃ sómo agnír vāyúr naḥ pātu savitā́ bhágaś ca ||1||
Let both the sky now and the earth, forethoughtful—let the bright (çukrá) great one, by the sacrificial gift, rescue (pṛ) me; let the svadhā́ favor (anu-ci) [me, let] Soma, Agni; let Vāyu protect us, [let] Savitar and Bhaga.
6.53.2
púnaḥ prāṇáḥ púnar ātmā́ na áitu púnaś cákṣuḥ púnar ásur na áitu |
vaiśvānaró no ádabdhas tanūpā́ antás tiṣṭhāti duritā́ni víśvā ||2||
Again let breath, again let soul (ātmán) come unto us; again let sight, again let spirit (ásu) come unto us; let Vāiçvānara, our unharmed body-protector, stand between [us and] all difficulties.
6.53.3
sáṃ várcasā páyasā sáṃ tanū́bhir áganmahi mánasā sáṃ śivéna |
tváṣṭā no átra várīyaḥ kr̥ṇotv ánu no mārṣṭu tanvò yád víriṣṭam ||3||
We have become united with splendor, with fatness (páyas), with bodies (tanū́), with propitious mind; let Tvashṭar make for us here wider room; let him smooth down what of our body is torn apart.
