1 . With this havish (sacrificial butter) I liberate thee for thy life, 

 from the concealed consumption or from the pulmonal consumption ; 

 when the attacker has attacked him, then liberate him from the same, 

 Indra and Agni. 



2. If his life be consumed, or if he went already, or if he has been 

 led near to death, then I will bring him back from the brink of death 

 uninfested to a life of a 100 years.

1 . My mind is directed to you, Mitra and Varuna, you that increase 

 what is right, you of benevolent mind that repel all that is hostile, that 

 protected Satyavan in his fights. Do liberate us from peril. 



2. You benevolent who repel the enemies, who protected Satiavan 

 in his fights, who approach (for assistance) you guides of men, as the 

 horses of Indra to the libation. — Do liberate, etc.
