असपत्नं पुरस्तात् पश्चान् नो अभयं कृतम् । सविता मा दक्षिणत उत्तरान् मा शचीपतिः
asapatnaṃ purastāt paścān no abhayaṃ kṛtam | savitā mā dakṣiṇata uttarān mā śacīpatiḥ
Free of rivals in the east, and in the west safety has been made for us; may Savitṛ (guard) me on the south, and on the north the lord of might (Indra).

Peace hath been given us from the east, and from the west security. Savitar guard me from the south, and from the north the Lord of Might.

AV 19 16.2
दिवो मादित्या रक्षतु भूम्या रक्षन्त्व् अग्नयः । इन्द्राग्नी रक्षतां मा पुरस्ताद् अश्विनाव् अभितः शर्म यछताम् । तिरश्चीन् अघ्न्या रक्षतु जातवेदा भूतकृतो मे सर्वतः सन्तु वर्म
divo mādityā rakṣatu bhūmyā rakṣantv agnayaḥ | indrāgnī rakṣatāṃ mā purastād aśvināv abhitaḥ śarma yachatām | tiraścīn aghnyā rakṣatu jātavedā bhūtakṛto me sarvataḥ santu varma
Let Āditya guard me from the sky, let the fires guard (me) from the earth; let Indra and Agni guard me in front, let the two Aśvins extend shelter on both sides; let Jātavedas guard (me) crosswise by means of the cow; let the makers of beings be armor for me on all sides.

May the Ādityas from the sky protect me, Agni from the earth. May Indra-Agni guard me from the eastward, on all sides may the Asvins give me shelter. May Jātavedas guard, sidelong, our cattle. Our shield on all sides be the World-Creators!
