marmāṇi te varmaṇā cchādayāmi somastvā rājāmṛtenānu vastāṃ | urorvarīyo varuṇaste kṛṇotu jayantaṃ tvānu devā madantu
I cover your vital spots with armour; let king Soma clothe you with the immortal draught; let Varuṇa make for you wider than wide; let the gods rejoice at you as you conquer.

Whoso would kill us, whether he be a stranger foe or one of us, May all the Gods discomfit him! My nearest, closest mail is prayer, my closest armour and defence.
