AV 7 42.1

सोमारुद्रा वि वृहतं विषूचीम् अमीवा या नो गयम् आविवेश । बाधेथां दूरं निरृतिम् पराचैः कृतं चिद् एनः प्र मुमुक्तम् अस्मत्

somārudrā vi vṛhataṃ viṣūcīm amīvā yā no gayam āviveśa | bādhethāṃ dūraṃ nirṛtim parācaiḥ kṛtaṃ cid enaḥ pra mumuktam asmat

Soma and Rudra, tear out in all directions the affliction that has entered our household; drive Nirṛti far off into the distance; release from us even the sin that has been committed.
