May the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who bears the Srivatsa on His chest, protect me after midnight until the sky becomes pinkish. May Lord Janardana, who carries a sword in His hand, protect me at the end of night (during the last four ghatikas of night). May Lord Damodara protect me in the early morning, and may Lord Visvesvara protect me during the junctions of day and night.
