Text 1.62.12
नाथवांश्च शुनःशेपो यज्ञश्चाविघ्नितो भवेत्।
देवतास्तर्पिताश्च स्युर्मम चापि कृतं वचः॥
nāthavāṁś ca śunaḥśepo yajñaś cāvighnito bhavet
devatās tarpitāś ca syur mama cāpi kṛtaṁ vacaḥ
nāthavān ca śunaḥśepaḥ = thus Śunaḥśepa will have a protector; yajñaḥ ca avighnitaḥ bhavet = the sacrifice will be freed from hindrance; devatāḥ = the demigods; tarpitāḥ ca syuḥ = will be satisfied; mama ca api kṛtam vacaḥ = and my words will be kept.
Thus Śunaḥśepa will have a protector, the sacrifice will be freed from hindrance, the demigods will be satisfied and my words will be kept.
Śunaḥśepa will have a protector when he is protected by me.
