Translation

May the glorification of the transcendental name, form, qualities and paraphernalia of the Supreme Personality of Godhead protect us from the influence of bad planets, meteors, envious human beings, serpents, scorpions, and animals like tigers and wolves. May it protect us from ghosts and the material elements like earth, water, fire and air, and may it also protect us from lightning and our past sins. We are always afraid of these hindrances to our auspicious life. Therefore, may they all be completely destroyed by the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

May all our fears arising from planets, meteors, humans, snakes and scorpions, sharp toothed animals, ghosts, and sins, unfavorable to our well-being, be destroyed by chanting continuously the name and forms of the Lord! Ṣreyaḥ-pratīpakāḥ means “unfavorable for our well-being.”
