उदेनमुत्तरं नयाग्ने घृतेनाहुत । समेनं वर्चसा सृज प्रजया च बहुं कृधि
Lead this one upward, O Agni, with ghee offered. Endow him with radiance, make him abundant in offspring.
इन्द्रेमं प्रतरं कृधि सजातानामसद्वशी । रायस्पोषेण सं सृज जीवातवे जरसे नय
O Indra, make him foremost among his kin, lord among his companions. Unite him with wealth and nourishment; lead him to long life and old age.
यस्य कृण्मो हविर्गृहे तमग्ने वर्धया त्वम् । तस्मै सोमो अधि ब्रवदयं च ब्रह्मणस्पतिः
For whom we make the oblation at home, O Agni, you increase him. For him, Soma speaks forth, and Bṛhaspati as well.
योऽस्मान् ब्रह्मणस्पतेऽदेवो अभिमन्यते । सर्वं तं रन्धयासि मे यजमानाय सुन्वते
O Bṛhaspati, whoever, not a god, opposes us—strike down all of him for my sacrificing worshipper.
यो नः सोम सुशंसिनो दुःशंस आदिदेशति । वज्रेणास्य मुखे जहि स संपिष्टो अपायति
O Soma, whoever speaks ill of us, or curses us—strike his mouth with the thunderbolt; let him, crushed, depart.
यो नः सोमाभिदासति सनाभिर्यश्च निष्ट्यः । अप तस्य बलं तिर महीव द्यौर्वधत्मना
Whoever attacks us, O Soma, whether a close or distant foe—remove his strength, as the vast sky does with its might.
येन सोमादितिः पथा मित्रा वा यन्त्यद्रुहः । तेना नोऽवसा गहि
By the path by which Aditi, Soma, and Mitra, free from guile, go—by that favor, come to us.
येन सोम साहन्त्यासुरान् रन्धयासि नः । तेना नो अधि वोचत
By which, O Soma, you strike down the Asuras and defeat them—by that, speak in our favor.
येन देवा असुराणामोजांस्यवृणीध्वम् । तेना नः शर्म यच्छत
By which you gods have chosen the strength of the Asuras—by that, grant us protection.
यथा वृक्षं लिबुजा समन्तं परिषस्वजे । एवा परि ष्वजस्व मां यथा मां कामिन्यसो यथा मन् नापगा असः
As the creeper embraces the tree all around, so embrace me; as women desiring me, as my mind does not depart from me.
यथा सुपर्णः प्रपतन् पक्षौ निहन्ति भूम्याम् । एवा नि हन्मि ते मनो यथा मां कामिन्यसो यथा मन् नापगा असः
As the eagle, flying, strikes its wings upon the earth, so I strike your mind; as women desiring me, as my mind does not depart from me.
यथेमे द्यावापृथिवी सद्यः पर्येति सूर्यः । एवा पर्येमि ते मनो यथा मां कामिन्यसो यथा मन् नापगा असः
As these heavens and earths, and the sun, swiftly encompass, so I encompass your mind; as women desiring me, as my mind does not depart from me.
वाञ्छ मे तन्वं पादौ वाञ्छाक्ष्यौ वाञ्छ सक्थ्यौ । अक्ष्यौ वृषण्यन्त्याः केशा मां ते कामेन शुष्यन्तु
May her body desire me, may her feet desire me, may her eyes, may her thighs desire me. May the hair of the passionate one wither for longing for me.
मम त्वा दोषणिश्रिषं कृणोमि हृदयश्रिषम् । यथा मम क्रतावसो मम चित्तमुपायसि
I make you dwell in my thoughts at dusk, in my heart at night; so that, O desiring one, you may come to my intention, my mind.
यासां नाभिरारेहणं हृदि संवननं कृतम्। गावो घृतस्य मातरोऽमूं सं वानयन्तु मे
Those whose navel is the place of rising, whose heart is the seat of union—may the cows, mothers of ghee, bring that together for me.
पृथिव्यै श्रोत्राय वनस्पतिभ्योऽग्नयेऽधिपतये स्वाहा
To the earth for hearing, to the plants, to Agni, to the lord—svāhā.
प्राणायान्तरिक्षाय वयोभ्यो वायवेऽधिपतये स्वाहा
To the breath for the midspace, to the ages, to Vāyu, to the lord—svāhā.
दिवे चक्षुषे नक्षत्रेभ्यः सूर्यायाधिपतये स्वाहा
To the sky for sight, to the stars, to Sūrya, to the lord—svāhā.
शमीमश्वत्थ आरूढस्तत्र पुंसुवनं कृतम् । तद्वै पुत्रस्य वेदनं तत्स्त्रीष्वा भरामसि
On the śamī and aśvattha trees is placed the puṃsuvana rite; that is indeed the knowledge of the son, that we place among women.
पुंसि वै रेतो भवति तत्स्त्रियामनु षिच्यते । तद्वै पुत्रस्य वेदनं तत्प्रजापतिरब्रवीत्
In the man, the seed arises; it is then poured into the woman. That is indeed the knowledge of the son, so Prajāpati declared.
प्रजापतिरनुमतिः सिनीवाल्यचीकॢपत्। स्त्रैषूयमन्यत्र दधत्पुमांसमु दधदिह
Prajāpati, Anumati, and Sinīvālī arranged it; placing the feminine elsewhere, the masculine is placed here.
परि द्यामिव सूर्योऽहीनां जनिमागमम् । रात्री जगदिवान्यद्धंसात्तेना ते वारये विषम्
Like the sun encircling the sky, I have reached the birth of serpents; night and day, whatever is destroyed, by that I ward off poison from you.
यद्ब्रह्मभिर्यदृषिभिर्यद्देवैर्विदितं पुरा । यद्भूतं भव्यमासन्वत्तेना ते वारये विषम्
What was known by the Brāhmaṇas, by the Ṛṣis, by the gods in ancient times; what was, what will be, what exists—by that I ward off poison from you.
मध्वा पृञ्चे नद्यः पर्वता गिरयो मधु । मधु परुष्णी शीपाला शमास्ने अस्तु शं हृदे
With honey I fill the rivers, the mountains, the hills with honey; honey for Paruṣṇī, for Śīpālā, may there be peace for us, peace for the heart.
नमो देववधेभ्यो नमो राजवधेभ्यः । अथो ये विश्यानां वधास्तेभ्यो मृत्यो नमोऽस्तु ते
Homage to the slayers of gods, homage to the slayers of kings; and to those who are slayers among the people, to you, Death, let there be homage.
नमस्ते अधिवाकाय परावाकाय ते नमः । सुमत्यै मृत्यो ते नमो दुर्मत्यै ते इदं नमः
Homage to you, who are the lord of speech, homage to you, who are the lord of distant speech; to your good mind, Death, homage, to your evil mind, this homage.
नमस्ते यातुधानेभ्यो नमस्ते भेषजेभ्यः । नमस्ते मृत्यो मूलेभ्यो ब्राह्मणेभ्य इदं नमः
Homage to the yātudhānas, homage to the medicines; homage to you, Death, at the roots, and to the Brāhmaṇas, this homage.
अस्थिस्रंसं परुस्रंसमास्थितं हृदयामयम् । बलासं सर्वं नाशयाङ्गेष्ठा यश्च पर्वसु
Let the bone-wasting, flesh-wasting, heart-disease, and all balāsa be destroyed from the limbs and whatever is in the joints.
निर्बलासं बलासिनः क्षिणोमि मुष्करं यथा । छिनद्म्यस्य बन्धनं मूलमुर्वार्वा इव
I drive out balāsa from the balāsa-sufferer, as one removes a root; I cut its binding, its root, as one would uproot a plant.
निर्बलासेतः प्र पताशुङ्गः शिशुको यथा । अथो इत इव हायनोऽप द्राह्यवीरहा
Let the balāsa fly away from here, like a young bird; and as one departs from here, let it flee, destroyer of strength.
