7.66.1

इदं यत्कृष्णः शकुनिरभिनिष्पतन्न् अपीपतत् ।
आपो मा तस्मात्सर्वस्माद्दुरितात्पान्त्वंहसः ॥ ७.६६.१ ॥

This black bird that swooped down and fell upon me: from all that ill-fate, may the waters protect me from distress.

इदं यत्कृष्णः शकुनिरवामृक्षन् निर्ऋते ते मुखेन ।
अग्निर्मा तस्मादेनसो गार्हपत्यः प्र मुञ्चतु ॥ ७.६६.२ ॥

O Nirṛti, from the sin of that black bird which struck and touched me with your mouth, may the household fire, Agni, release me.
