यत् किं चासौ मनसा यच् च वाचा यज्ञैर् जुहोति हविषा यजुषा । तन् मृत्युना निरृतिः संविदाना पुरा सत्याद् आहुतिं हन्त्व् अस्य

yat kiṃ cāsau manasā yac ca vācā yajñair juhoti haviṣā yajuṣā | tan mṛtyunā nirṛtiḥ saṃvidānā purā satyād āhutiṃ hantv asya

Whatever yonder man offers with mind and with speech, with sacrifices, with oblation, with the yajus — let Nirṛti, in agreement with Death, smite his offering before it comes true.

यातुधाना निरृतिर् आद् उ रक्षस् ते अस्य घ्नन्त्व् अनृतेन सत्यम् । इन्द्रेषिता देवा आजम् अस्य मथ्नन्तु मा तत् सं पादि यद् असौ जुहोति

Let the sorcerers, Nirṛti, and then the rakṣas smite his truth with untruth; let the gods, urged by Indra, churn up his ghee; let not that succeed which yonder man offers.
