दमे-दमे सप्त रत्ना दधाना शं नो भूतं दविपदेशं चतुष्पदे

Placing in every house your seven great treasures, bring blessing to our quadrupeds and bipeds.

आरे बाधेथां निरतिं पराचैरस्मे भद्रा सौश्रवसानि सन्तु
English:- Soma and Rudra, chase to every quarter the sickness that hath visited our dwelling.
Drive Nirrti away into the distance, and give us excellent and happy glories.

सोमारुद्रा युवमेतान्यस्मे विश्वा तनूषु भेषजानि धत्तम |
अव सयतं मुञ्चतं यन नो अस्ति तनूषु बद्धं कर्तमेनो अस्मत
English:- Provide, O Soma-Rudra, for our bodies all needful medicines to heal and cure us.
Set free and draw away the sin committed which we have still inherent in our persons.

तिग्मायुधौ तिग्महेती सुशेवौ सोमारुद्राविह सु मर्ळतं नः |
पर नो मुञ्चतं वरुणस्य पाशाद गोपायतं नः सुमनस्यमाना
English:- Armed with keen shafts and weapons, kind and loving, be gracious unto us, Soma and Rudra.
Release us from the noose of Varuṇa; keep us from sorrow, in your tender loving-kindness.
