**Bṛhāspati** lead us safely over troubles and turn his evil thoughts against the sinner; Repel the curse, and drive away ill-feeling, and give the sacrificer peace and comfort!

May **Narāśasma** aid us at Prayāja: blessed be our Anuyāja at invocations. May he repel the curse, and chase ill-feeling, and give the sacrificer peace and comfort.

May he whose head is blazing burn the demons, haters of prayer, so that the arrow slays them. May he repel the curse and chase ill-feeling, and give the sacrificer peace and comfort.
