AV 7 35.1

प्रान्यान्त् सपत्नान्त् सहसा सहस्व प्रत्य् अजातान् जातवेदो नुदस्व । इदं राष्ट्रं पिपृहि सौभगाय विश्व एनम् अनु मदन्तु देवाः

prānyānt sapatnānt sahasā sahasva praty ajātān jātavedo nudasva | idaṃ rāṣṭraṃ pipṛhi saubhagāya viśva enam anu madantu devāḥ

Overcome with might the other rivals; thrust back the unborn ones, O Jātavedas. Carry this kingdom through to good fortune; let all the gods take pleasure in it.

Subdue with conquering might his other rivals, those yet unborn repel, O Jātavedas. For great felicity protect this kingdom, and in this man let all the Gods be joyful.

AV 7 35.3

परं योनेर् अवरं ते कृणोमि मा त्वा प्रजाभि भून् मोत सूतुः । अस्वं त्वाप्रजसं कृणोम्य् अश्मानं ते अपिधानम् कृणोमि

paraṃ yoner avaraṃ te kṛṇomi mā tvā prajābhi bhūn mota sūtuḥ | asvaṃ tvāprajasaṃ kṛṇomy aśmānaṃ te apidhānam kṛṇomi

What is upper in your womb I make lower; let there not be offspring for you, nor birth. I make you barren, without progeny; I make a stone your covering.
