19.47.1
आ रात्रि पार्थिवं रजः पितुरप्रायि धामभिः ।
दिवः सदांसि बृहती वि तिष्ठस आ त्वेषं वर्तते तमः ॥ १९.४७.१ ॥
O Night, the earthly expanse has been filled by the radiances of the Father (Sky). Vast one, you stand spread across the seats of heaven; the fierce darkness comes on.
19.47.2
न यस्याः पारं ददृशे न योयुवद्विश्वमस्यां नि विशते यदेजति ।
अरिष्टासस्त उर्वि तमस्वति रात्रि पारमशीमहि भद्रे पारमशीमहि ॥ १९.४७.२ ॥
Whose far shore is not seen, and who does not keep apart, into her all that moves settles. Wide night full of darkness, may we, unharmed, reach the far shore; O auspicious one, may we reach the far shore.
19.47.3
ये ते रात्रि नृचक्षसो द्रष्टारो नवतिर्नव ।
अशीतिः सन्त्यष्टा उतो ते सप्त सप्ततिः ॥ १९.४७.३ ॥
O Night, your human-watching seers — ninety-nine, eighty, eight, and your seventy-seven.

चत्वारश्चत्वारिंशच्च त्रयस्त्रिंशच्च वाजिनि ॥ १९.४७.४ ॥
Sixty and six, O wealthy one; fifty and five, O bestower of favour; forty and four, and thirty-three too, O abundant one.

तेभिर्नो अद्य पायुभिर्नु पाहि दुहितर्दिवः ॥ १९.४७.५ ॥
And your twenty-two and eleven are the lowest. With those protections, protect us now today, O daughter of heaven.
19.47.6
रक्षा माकिर्नो अघशंस ईशत मा नो दुःशंस ईशत ।
मा नो अद्य गवां स्तेनो मावीनां वृक ईशत ॥ १९.४७.६ ॥
Protect us; let no evil-wisher gain power over us, let no ill-wisher gain power over us. Today let no thief of cattle gain power over us; let no wolf of the sheep gain power over us.
19.47.7
माश्वानां भद्रे तस्करो मा नृणां यातुधान्यः ।

परेण दत्वती रज्जुः परेणाघायुरर्षतु ॥ १९.४७.७ ॥
O auspicious Night, let no horse-thief overpower us, nor the sorceresses overpower men. Let the thief flee by distant paths. Let the toothed rope stay far off; let the evil-minded one go far away.
19.47.8
अध रात्रि तृष्टधूममशीर्षाणमहिं कृणु ।
हनू वृकस्य जम्भया स्तेनं द्रुपदे जहि ॥ १९.४७.८ ॥
Now, O Night, make a headless serpent of smoke that is fierce. Crush the jaws of the wolf, and strike down the thief in the wooden stocks.

In you, O Night, we dwell; we shall sleep, but you stay awake. Grant shelter to our cows, to our horses, and to our men.
