4.18.1
समं ज्योतिः सूर्येणाह्ना रात्री समावती ।
कृणोमि सत्यमूतयेऽरसाः सन्तु कृत्वरीः ॥ ४.१८.१ ॥
With the sun, the light of day is equal, and the night is likewise equal. For protection I make it true: let those sorceries be without sap.
4.18.2
यो देवाः कृत्यां कृत्वा हरादविदुषो गृहम् ।
वत्सो धारुरिव मातरं तं प्रत्यगुप पद्यताम् ॥ ४.१८.२ ॥
O gods, whoever makes a sorcery against the house of one who does not know, may it go back to him, as a calf goes to its mother with a stream of milk.
4.18.3
अमा कृत्वा पाप्मानं यस्तेनान्यं जिघांसति ।
अश्मानस्तस्यां दग्धायां बहुलाः फट्करिक्रति ॥ ४.१८.३ ॥
He who, having done evil at home, desires by it to slay another: when she is burnt, let the stones crack loudly, with a fṭ sound many times.
4.18.4
सहस्रधामन् विशिखान् विग्रीवां छायया त्वम् ।
प्रति स्म चक्रुषे कृत्यां प्रियां प्रियावते हर ॥ ४.१८.४ ॥
O thousand-rayed one, O sharp-pointed and neck-broken ones, by your shadow carry back that sorcery to the one who made it; bring the dear one to the one who is dear.
4.18.5
अनयाहमोषध्या सर्वाः कृत्या अदूदुषम् ।
यां क्षेत्रे चक्रुर्यां गोषु यां वा ते पुरुषेषु ॥ ४.१८.५ ॥
By this herb I have driven away all sorceries which they have made in the field, among the cattle, or among men.
4.18.6
यश्चकार न शशाक कर्तुं शश्रे पादमङ्गुरिम् ।
चकार भद्रमस्मभ्यमात्मने तपनं तु सः ॥ ४.१८.६ ॥
He who made it but could not accomplish it, his foot or toe was wounded; he made good for us, but for himself he kept only burning.
4.18.7
अपामार्गोऽप मार्ष्टु क्षेत्रियं शपथश्च यः ।
अपाह यातुधानीरप सर्वा अराय्यः ॥ ४.१८.७ ॥
Let Apāmārga wipe away the hereditary disease and whatever curse there is. Let it drive away the sorceresses and all the malevolent powers.
4.18.8
अपमृज्य यातुधानान् अप सर्वा अराय्यः ।
अपामार्ग त्वया वयं सर्वं तदप मृज्महे ॥ ४.१८.८ ॥
Having wiped away the sorcerer-demons and driven away all the malevolent powers, O Apāmārga, by you we wipe away all that.
