Mandala 10 – Hymn 182 [Rig Veda]

1. BRHASPATI lead us safely over troubless and turn his evil thought against the sinner; Repel the curse, and drive away ill-feeling, and give the sacrificer peace and cornfort! 2. May Naratarhsa aid us at Prayaja: blest be our Anuyaja at invokings. May he repel the curse, and chase ill-feeling, and give the sacrificer peace and comfort. 3. May he whose head is flaming burn the demons, haters of prayer, so that the arrow slay them. May he repel the curse and chase ill-feeling, and give the sacrificer peace and comfort.
