A charm against rival worshippers

1O Jātavedas, eastward sacrificers, as foes assail us from the
   eastern quarter.
  May they, turned back, be pained for harming Agni. I drive
   them backward with mine incantation.
2O Jātavedas, southward sacrificers as foes assail us from the
   southern quarter.
  May they, turned back, be pained for harming Yama. I smite
   them backward with mine incantation.
3O Jātavedas, westward sacrificers as foes assail us from the
   western quarter.
  For harming Varuna be they turned and troubled! I smite them
   backward with mine incantation.
4Jātavedas, northward sacrificers as foes assail us from the
   northern quarter.
  For harming Soma be they turned and troubled! I smite them
   backward with mine incantation.
5O Jātavedas, nether sacrificers, as foes assail us from the stead-
   fast quarter.
  For harming Earth let them be turned and troubled. I smite
   them backward with mine incantation.
6Those who pay sacrifice, O Jātavedas, from air assail us from
   the midway quarter.
  For harming Vāyu be they turned and troubled! I smite them
   backward with mine incantation.
7The sacrificers from above assail us, O Jātavedas, from the lofty
   quarter.
  For wronging Sūrya be they turned and troubled! I smite them
   backward with mine incantation.
8Those from all points assail us, Jātavedas, who sacrifice from
   intermediate regions.
  For wronging Prayer let them be turned and troubled, I smite
   them backward with mine incantation.
