अयं यो भूरिमूलः समुद्रमवतिष्ठति । दर्भः पृथिव्या उत्थितो मन्युशमन उच्यते
This sacred grass, with many roots, stands in the ocean; the sacred grass, arisen from the earth, is called the pacifier of anger.
वि ते हनव्यां शरणिं वि ते मुख्यां नयामसि । यथावशो न वादिषो मम चित्तमुपायसि
We cast away your destructive weapon, we lead away your chief weapon; so that you may not speak against me, bring my mind under your control.
अस्थाद्द्यौरस्थात्पृथिव्यस्थाद्विश्वमिदं जगत्। अस्थुर्वृक्षा ऊर्ध्वस्वप्नास्तिष्ठाद्रोगो अयं तव
From the sky, from the earth, from all that exists in the world—trees stand upright, dreaming as they remain; may this disease depart from you.
शतं या भेषजानि ते सहस्रं संगतानि च । श्रेष्ठमास्रावभेषजं वसिष्ठं रोगनाशनम्
A hundred remedies are yours, a thousand gathered together; let the best remedy flow forth, the most excellent, destroyer of disease.
रुद्रस्य मूत्रमस्यमृतस्य नाभिः । विषाणका नाम वा असि पितॄणां मूलादुत्थिता वातीकृतनाशनी
You are the urine of Rudra, the navel of immortality; your name is Viṣāṇakā, arisen from the roots of the ancestors, destroyer of wind-caused affliction.
परोऽपेहि मनस्पाप किमशस्तानि शंससि । परेहि न त्वा कामये वृक्षां वनानि सं चर गृहेषु गोषु मे मनः
Depart, evil mind! Why do you speak harmful things? Go away, I do not desire you. Wander among the trees and forests; let my mind dwell in homes and among cattle.
अवशसा निःशसा यत्पराशसोपारिम जाग्रतो यत्स्वपन्तः । अग्निर्विश्वान्यप दुष्कृतान्यजुष्टान्यारे अस्मद्दधातु
Drive out, expel, whatever is hostile, whatever is uppermost, whether awake or asleep; may Agni remove all evil deeds, those not accepted, far from us.
यदिन्द्र ब्रह्मणस्पतेऽपि मृषा चरामसि । प्रचेता न आङ्गिरसो दुरितात्पात्वंहसः
O Indra, O Lord of Speech, even if we act wrongly, may the wise Āṅgirasas deliver us from misfortune and sin.
यो न जीवोऽसि न मृतो देवानाममृतगर्भोऽसि स्वप्न । वरुणानी ते माता यमः पिताररुर्नामासि
You are neither living nor dead, you are the immortal embryo among the gods, O dream; Varuṇānī is your mother, Yama your father, and you are called Araru.
विद्म ते स्वप्न जनित्रं देवजामीनां पुत्रोऽसि यमस्य करणः । अन्तकोऽसि मृत्युरसि तं त्वा स्वप्न तथा सं विद्म स नः स्वप्न दुष्वप्न्यात्पाहि
We know your origin, O dream, you are the son of divine mothers, the agent of Yama; you are Antaka, you are Death. Thus we know you, O dream; protect us from evil dreams.
यथा कलां यथा शफं यथर्णं संनयन्ति । एवा दुष्वप्न्यं सर्वं द्विषते सं नयामसि
Just as they join a part, a hoof, or a tendon, so we unite all evil dreams and lead them away from the enemy.
अग्निः प्रातःसवने पात्वस्मान् वैश्वानरो विश्वकृद्विश्वशंभूः । स नः पावको द्रविणे दधात्वायुष्मन्तः सहभक्षाः स्याम
May Agni, the universal, the creator of all, the bringer of happiness, protect us at the morning pressing; may the purifier grant us wealth, and may we be long-lived and share food together.
विश्वे देवा मरुत इन्द्रो अस्मान् अस्मिन् द्वितीये सवने न जह्युः । आयुष्मन्तः प्रियमेषां वदन्तो वयं देवानां सुमतौ स्याम
May all the gods, the Maruts, and Indra not abandon us at this second pressing; speaking what is dear to them, may we be favored by the gods and live long.
इदं तृतीयं सवनं कवीनामृतेन ये चमसमैरयन्त । ते सौधन्वनाः स्वरानशानाः स्विष्टिं नो अभि वस्यो नयन्तु
This is the third pressing of the wise, who filled the cup with nectar; let those of the Saudhanvanā, shining and unaging, bring us the most excellent offering.
श्येनोऽसि गायत्रच्छन्दा अनु त्वा रभे । स्वस्ति मा सं वहास्य यज्ञस्योदृचि स्वाहा
You are a falcon, with the Gāyatrī meter; I grasp you. May you bring me prosperity, at the upward path of the sacrifice. Svāhā!
ऋभुरसि जगच्छन्दा अनु त्वा रभे । स्वस्ति मा सं वहास्य यज्ञस्योदृचि स्वाहा
You are an Ṛbhu, with the Jagatī meter; I grasp you. May you bring me prosperity, at the upward path of the sacrifice. Svāhā!
वृषासि त्रिष्टुप्छन्दा अनु त्वा रभे । स्वस्ति मा सं वहास्य यज्ञस्योदृचि स्वाहा
You are a bull, with the Triṣṭubh meter; I grasp you. May you bring me prosperity, at the upward path of the sacrifice. Svāhā!
नहि ते अग्ने तन्वः क्रूरमानंश मर्त्यः । कपिर्बभस्ति तेजनं स्वं जरायु गौरिव
No mortal, O Agni, can harm your form; you are a monkey, you consume your own offspring, like a cow with her afterbirth.
मेष इव वै सं च वि चोर्वच्यसे यदुत्तरद्रावुपरश्च खादतः । शीर्ष्णा शिरोऽप्ससाप्सो अर्दयन्न् अंशून् बभस्ति हरितेभिरासभिः
Like a ram, you are praised and called upon, when the upper and lower jaws devour; with your head, you strike the heads of the waters, consuming the fibers with your green flames.
सुपर्णा वाचमक्रतोप द्यव्याखरे कृष्णा इषिरा अनर्तिषुः । नि यन् नियन्ति उपरस्य निष्कृतिं पुरू रेतो दधिरे सूर्यश्रितः
The winged ones utter speech, the black ones cry out in the fields; they lead away the uppermost portion, many seeds are placed, resting upon the sun.
हतं तर्दं समङ्कमाखुमश्विना छिन्तं शिरो अपि पृष्टीः शृणीतम् । यवान् नेददान् अपि नह्यतं मुखमथाभयं कृणुतं धान्याय
Strike down the tarda, the samaṅka, the ākhuma, O Aśvins; crush their heads and backs, listen to me. Let their mouths not open, let them not harm us; thus grant us safety and abundance of grain.
तर्द है पतङ्ग है जभ्य हा उपक्वस । ब्रह्मेवासंस्थितं हविरनदन्त इमान् यवान् अहिंसन्तो अपोदित
The tarda is a moth, the pataṅga is a moth, the jabhya is a moth, and the upakvasa as well. Like sacrificial offerings established in the Brahman's abode, these barley grains are unharmed, untouched by them.
तर्दापते वघापते तृष्टजम्भा आ शृणोत मे । य आरण्या व्यद्वरा ये के च स्थ व्यद्वरास्तान्त्सर्वान् जम्भयामसि
O lord of the tarda, lord of the vagha, O you with sharp jaws, listen to me. All the forest pests and whatever other pests there are, we subdue them all.
वायोः पूतः पवित्रेण प्रत्यङ्सोमो अति द्रुतः । इन्द्रस्य युजः सखा
Purified by the wind with the purifier, Soma moves swiftly forward; he is the friend yoked with Indra.
आपो अस्मान् मातरः सूदयन्तु घृतेन नो घृतप्वः पुनन्तु । विश्वं हि रिप्रं प्रवहन्ति देवीरुदिदाभ्यः शुचिरा पूत एमि
Let the waters, our mothers, cleanse us; let those rich in ghee purify us with ghee. For the divine waters carry away all defilement; I come to you, O pure ones, cleansed and purified.
यत्किं चेदं वरुण दैव्ये जनेऽभिद्रोहं मनुष्याश्चरन्ति । अचित्त्या चेत्तव धर्म युयोपिम मा नस्तस्मादेनसो देव रीरिषः
Whatever offense people commit here, O Varuṇa, among the divine race—whether through ignorance or intent—do you, O wise one, release us from that sin; do not let us, O god, suffer for that transgression.
उत्सूर्यो दिव एति पुरो रक्षांसि निजूर्वन् । आदित्यः पर्वतेभ्यो विश्वदृष्टो अदृष्टहा
The sun rises from the womb of heaven, driving away the Rakṣasas ahead; the Āditya, seen by all, destroys the unseen from the mountains.
नि गावो गोष्ठे असदन् नि मृगासो अविक्षत । न्यूर्मयो नदीनां न्यदृष्टा अलिप्सत
The cows have settled in the cow-pen, the wild animals have withdrawn; the waters of the rivers have subsided, and the unseen beings have vanished.
आयुर्ददं विपश्चितं श्रुतां कण्वस्य वीरुधम् । आभारिषं विश्वभेषजीमस्यादृष्टान् नि शमयत्
I have brought life, wisdom, and the renowned plant of Kanva; I have brought all-healing remedies—may they pacify the unseen forces.
द्यौश्च म इदं पृथिवी च प्रचेतसौ शुक्रो बृहन् दक्षिणया पिपर्तु । अनु स्वधा चिकितां सोमो अग्निर्वायुर्नः पातु सविता भगश्च
May Heaven and Earth, both wise, protect this for me with their shining, great right hand; may Soma, Agni, Vāyu, Savitṛ, and Bhaga, following their proper order, guard us.
