Heaven and Earth, the wide mid-space, the mistress of the field, the wide-ranging wondrous one, and the wide mid-space guarded by the wind — let these burn here while I am burning.

atīva yo maruto manyate no brahma vā yo nindiṣat kriyamāṇam | tapūṃṣi tasmai vṛjināni santu brahmadviṣaṃ dyaur abhisaṃtapāti

Whoever, O Maruts, thinks himself above us, or whoever would revile our spell as it is being performed — let his crooked deeds be burning heats to him; let heaven scorch the hater of the spell.
