51.

मा नो महान्तमुत मा नो अर्भकं मा न उक्षन्तमुत मा न उक्षितम्।

मा नोऽवधी: पितरं मोत मातरं प्रिया मा नस्तनुवः रुद्रारीरिषः॥

mā no mahāntamuta mā no arbhakaṁ mā na ukṣanta-muta mā na ukṣitam,

mā no'vadhīḥ pitaraṁ mota mātaraṁ priyā mā nastanuvaḥ rudrarīriṣaḥ.

Rudra! Destroy not our aged ones or our young ones, our infants or our babes in the womb; kill not our father or our mother, or our dear bodies.

=================================================================================================

52.

मा नस्तोके तनये मा न आयुषि मा नो गोषु मा नो अश्वेशु रीरिषः।

वीरान्मा नो रुद्र भमितोऽवधीर्हविष्मन्तो नमसा विधेम ते॥

mā nastoke tanaye mā na āyuṣi mā no goṣu mā no aśveṣu rīriṣaḥ,

vīrānmā no rudra bhāmito'vadhīrhaviṣmanto namasā vidhema te.

Rudra! Do not, in Your anger, bring trouble on our children, our sons, our lifespan, our cattle, our horses; destroy not our brave (useful) servants; we propitiate You with (our) prostrations, offering oblations (to You).

53.

आरात्ते गोघ्न उत पुरूषघ्ने क्षयद्वीराय सुम्नमस्मे ते अस्तु।

रक्षा च नो अधि च देव ब्रूह्यथा च नः शर्म यच्छद्विबर्हः॥

ārātte goghna uta pūruṣaghne kṣayadvīrāya sumnamasme te astu,

rakṣā ca no adhi ca deva brūhyathā ca naḥ śarma yacchadvibarhāḥ.

God! Let Thy gentle form, meant for our good, which spells destruction on cattle and human beings in the enemy's fighting forces, be near us; protect us, exalt us (among all things) and confer grace on us—Thou the glory of here and hereafter.

54.

स्तुहि श्रुतं गर्तसदं युवानं मृगन्ना भीममुपहत्नुमुग्राम।

मृडा जरित्रे रुद्र स्तवानो अन्यन्ते अस्मान्निवापन्तु सेनाः॥

stuhi śrutaṁ gartasadaṁ yuvānaṁ mṛganna bhīma-mupahatnumugram,

mruḍā jaritre rudra stavāno anyante asmannivapantu senāḥ.

Praise the celebrated One; the Dweller in the cave (of the heart); ever young (new and fresh); terrible at the time of destruction (of enemies and of the universe in the end), like a ferocious lion. O Rudra, make us, praying through this mortal frame, happy. Let Thy forces (armies) wipe out what is different from us (our foes).

Note:—This is a prayer for the success of oneself over one's enemies, external as well as internal. What is different from us is what is other than the true Self or Atman.

55.

परिणो रुद्रस्य हेतिवृणक्तु परि त्वेषस्य दुर्मतिरघायोः।

अव स्थिरा मघवद्भयस्तनुष्व मीढ्वस्तोकाय तनयाय मृड॥

pariṇo rudrasya hetirvṛṇaktu pari tveṣasya durmatiraghāyoḥ,

ava sthirā madhavadbhyastanuṣva mīḍhvastokāya tanayāya mruḍaya.

May the destructive weapon of Rudra, as also His burning angry will risen against sinners, keep away from us (not harm us). O Granter of boons to those who surrender themselves with offerings! Turn away Your wrath from us, who are prostrate before You. Bestow happiness on our children and grandchildren.
