सु॒प्रैतु॑: सू॒यव॑सो॒ न पन्था॑ दुर्नि॒यन्तु॒: परि॑प्रीतो॒ न मि॒त्रः । अ॒न॒र्वाणो॑ अ॒भि ये चक्ष॑ते॒ नोऽपी॑वृता अपोर्णु॒वन्तो॑ अस्थुः ॥

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Those sinless men: abhi ye cakṣate naḥ, those who speak to us; who, bodhayantī, waken or instrumental uct us;; apīvṛtā, ajñānenāvṛtā, enveloped by ignorance; let those who revileus, and are being protected be deprived of that protection
