Preview of English translation:

26. For this same graha there is neither an invitatory prayer nor an offering prayer: he offers it with a (Yajus) formula, and thereby it becomes for him supplied with both an invitatory and an offering prayer. And if he desire to exorcise, let him offer some spray (of Soma) which may adhere either to his arm, or to his breast, or to his garment, with, “O divine plant, let that be true wherefore I pray thee: let N.N. be struck down by destruction falling from above, crash!” Even as one of (enemies) that are being slain might escape, so does this (sprig) fly away from those that are being pressed: thus nothing (hostile)—either running thither or running away—remains to him for whom he performs this. He deposits that (cup) with, “Thee for the out-breathing!” for this (graha) indeed is his out-breathing.
