Bring these songs to Rudra of the firm bow, of the swift arrow, to the god who possesses his own power, to the unconquerable, overpowering, ordaining one with sharp weapons: may he hear us.

To Rudra bring these songs, whose bow is firm and strong, the self-dependent God with swiftlyflying shafts, The Wise, the Conqueror whom none may overcome, armed with sharp-pointed weapons: may he hear our call.

RV 7 46.2
स हि क्षयेण क्षम्यस्य जन्मनः साम्राज्येन दिव्यस्य चेतति । अवन्न् अवन्तीर् उप नो दुरश् चरानमीवो रुद्र जासु नो भव
sa hi kṣayeṇa kṣamyasya janmanaḥ sāmrājyena divyasya cetati | avann avantīr upa no duraś carānamīvo rudra jāsu no bhava
For by his dwelling he attends to what is born of earth, by his sovereign rule to what is of heaven. Helping, come to our helping doors; be free of sickness (for us), O Rudra, among our offspring.

मा नो वधी रुद्र मा परा दा मा ते भूम प्रसितौ हीऴितस्य । आ नो भज बर्हिषि जीवशꣳसे यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः

Do not slay us, Rudra, do not hand us over; let us not be in the snare of you when angered. Grant us a share in the barhis, in the praise of the living. Do you (gods) protect us always with blessings.

Slay us not, nor abandon us, O Rudra let not thy noose, when thou art angry, seize us. Give us trimmed grass and fame among the living. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
