AV 7 100.1

पर्यावर्ते दुष्वप्न्यात् पापात् स्वप्न्याद् अभूत्याः । ब्रह्माहम् अन्तरं कृण्वे परा स्वप्नमुखाः शुचः

paryāvarte duṣvapnyāt pāpāt svapnyād abhūtyāḥ | brahmāham antaraṃ kṛṇve parā svapnamukhāḥ śucaḥ

I turn away from bad dreaming, from evil dreaming, from non-prosperity. I make the sacred formulation my inner (defence); away (with) the griefs that begin with dreams!

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

I turn away from evil dream, from dream of sin, from indigence. I make the prayer mine inmost friend. Hence! torturing. dreamy phantasies!

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
