O Adityas, be aware of him. Protect him from powerful weapons released by insiders and others.

To the attention of all gods, fathers, sons and conscious people, hrst my words, I commend this person. Bear him to his old age, may he be happy in the process

O Gods of the Three worlds, the gods of nature, flora and fauna grant him a long life and protect him from hundred untimely deaths.

I desire that they become members of this assembly of those who protect the five regions.
