HYMN VI

A prayer to Brāhmanaspati for protection from wicked men

1The godless man whoever plots against us, Brāhmanaspati,
  Thou shalt give up as prey to me the worshipper who pour the
   juice.
2If, Soma, any spiteful man hath aimed at us whose thoughts are
   kind,
  Smite with thy bolt upon his face: he, crushed to pieces, vani-
   sheth.
3Soma, whoever troubleth us, be he a stranger or akin,
  Deprive him of the strength he hath: slay him thy-self like
   mighty Dyaus!
