1. Fly forth from here, O evil sign (lakṣmī́); disappear from here; fly forth from yonder; with a hook of metal (ayasmáya) we attach thee to him that hates [us].

2. The unenjoyable flying sign that hath mounted me, as a creeper a tree—that, O Savitar, mayest thou put hence elsewhere than on us, being golden-handed, granting good to us.

3. A hundred and one [are] the signs of a mortal, born from his birth together with his body; the worst of these we send forth out from here; to us, O Jātavedas, confirm propitious ones.

4. These same have I separated, like kine scattered on a barren (khilá); let the good (púṇya) signs stay; those that are evil have I made disappear.

 

1. Homage to the hot, stirring, pushing, bold one; homage to the cold, former-desire-performing one.
