Those Rudras so far mentioned, and over and above them, who have entered the quarters and occupied them, we shall cause the strings of their bows to be loosened, and the bows themselves to be deposited thousands of yojanas far away from us. Those Rudras who are on this earth, to whom food turns into shafts, I bow to them with my speech. With my ten fingers joined, I bow to them with my body facing the east, the south, the west, the north, and upwards, I bow to them with my mind. May they render me happy. Oh Rudras, to whom we bow! I consign him whom we hate and he who hates us, into your yawning mouths.
Namo rudrebhyo ye prithivyam ye antarikshe ye divi yeshhamannam vato varshhamishhava stebhyo dasha praachirdasha dakshina dasha pratichirdashodiichirdashordhvaastebhyo namaste no mridayantu te yam dvishhmo yashcha no dveshhti tam vo jambhe dadhami
Those Rudras who dwell in the middle region between the heaven and the earth, for whom the wind furnishes the shaft, salutations to them. With the ten fingers joined, I bow to them in the east, the south, the west, the north and upwards. Salutations to them. May then render me happy. They who hate us, I consign into your yawning mouths. Those Rudras who dwell in heaven, to whom rain serves as a shaft, salutations to them. With the ten fingers joined, I bow to them in the east, the south, the west, the north and upwards. Salutations to them.
May then render me happy. He whom we do not desire, and he who hates us, I consign them into your yawning mouths.
