AV 1 20.1

अदारसृद् भवतु देव सोमास्मिन् यज्ञे मरुतो मृडता नः । मा नो विदद् अभिभा मो अशस्तिर् मा नो विदद् वृजिना द्वेष्या या

adārasṛd bhavatu deva somāsmin yajñe maruto mṛḍatā naḥ | mā no vidad abhibhā mo aśastir mā no vidad vṛjinā dveṣyā yā

Let (it) be one that does not split the wood, O god Soma; in this sacrifice, O Maruts, be gracious to us. Let no apparition find us, nor malediction; let no crooked things, which are hateful, find us.

शास इत्था महाꣳ अस्य् अमित्रसाहो अस्तृतः । न यस्य हन्यते सखा न जीयते कदा चन
