Sanskrit Original
न य॑जमान रिष्यसि॒ न सु॑न्वान॒ न दे॑वयो । दे॒वानां॒ य इन्मनो॒ यज॑मान॒ इय॑क्षत्य॒भीदय॑ज्वनो भुवत्
na yajamāna riṣyasi na sunvāna na devayo devānāṃ ya inmano yajamāna iyakṣatyabhīdayajvano bhuvat
You will not vanquish the sacrificer, nor the skilled one, nor the gods; he who watches the sacrificer’s mind of the gods becomes strong by sacrifice.
Devoted to the gods, pouring out to them libations, you, worshipper, shall not perish; the celebrator ofthe sacrifice, who desires to propitiate the mind of the gods, overcomes those who are no sacrificers.
Ne'er are ye injured, worshipper, presser of juice, or pious man. The man who, sacrificing, strives to win the heart of Deities will conquer those who worship not.
