8.30.1

न॒हि वो॒ अस्त्य॑र्भ॒को देवा॑सो॒ न कु॑मार॒कः ।
विश्वे॑ स॒तोम॑हान्त॒ इत् ॥

O gods, there is no child or young boy among you; all of you are truly great in praise.

इति॑ स्तु॒तासो॑ असथा रिशादसो॒ ये स्थ त्रय॑श्च त्रिं॒शच्च॑ ।
मनो॑र्देवा यज्ञियासः ॥

Thus praised, may you be, O destroyers of enemies; you who are three and thirty, O gods worthy of Manu's sacrifice.

ते न॑स्त्राध्वं॒ ते॑ऽवत॒ त उ॑ नो॒ अधि॑ वोचत ।
मा नः॑ प॒थः पित्र्या॑न्मान॒वादधि॑ दू॒रं नै॑ष्ट परा॒वतः॑ ॥

May they protect us, may they help us, may they speak well of us; do not lead us far away from the path of the fathers and the path of human origin.

ये दे॑वास इ॒ह स्थन॒ विश्वे॑ वैश्वान॒रा उ॒त ।
अ॒स्मभ्यं॒ शर्म॑ स॒प्रथो॒ गवेऽश्वा॑य यच्छत ॥

O gods who stand here, all of you Vaiśvānaras, grant us wide shelter; grant shelter for the cow and the horse.
