O warriors gifted with the strength of Indra and highly precious shafts, quickly proceed in quest of her, lest overpowered by ineanness and violence and being beside herself and with a dried mouth, she may give up her person to an unworthy person as the sanctified oblation is thrown into a mass of ashes. Let not the clarified butter be poured into an unigniting fire of paddy chaff and a garland of flowers be thrown into a cremation ground. Let not the Soma juice of a sacrifice be licked up by a dog through the carelessness of the officiating priest. Let not the lily be ruthlessly torn by a jackal walking for its prey in the deep forest.
गृणीत चापानि महाधनानि शरांश्च शीघ्रं पदवीं चरध्वम्। पुरा हि निर्भर्त्सनदण्डमोहिता प्रमोहचित्ता वदनेन शुष्यता॥ ददाति कस्मैचिदनर्हते तनुं वराज्यपूर्णामिव भस्मनि स्रुचम्। पुरा तुषाग्नाविव हूयते हविः पुरा श्मशाने स्रगिवापविद्ध्यते॥ पुरा च सोमोऽध्वरगोऽवलिाते शुना यथा विप्रजने प्रमोहिते। महत्यरण्ये मृगयां चरित्वा पुरा शृगालो नलिनी विगाहते॥
