अपचितः प्र पतत सुपर्णो वसतेरिव । सूर्यः कृणोतु भेषजं चन्द्रमा वोऽपोच्छतु
Let the disease fall away, cast off like a bird from its nest; may the Sun bring healing, may the Moon draw out your affliction.
एन्येका श्येन्येका कृष्णैका रोहिणी द्वे । सर्वासामग्रभं नामावीरघ्नीरपेतन
One is pale, one is dark, one is red, two are roan; I call upon the name of all these, O destroyers of men, depart!
असूतिका रामायण्यपचित्प्र पतिष्यति । ग्लौरितः प्र पतिष्यति स गलुन्तो नशिष्यति
The woman in labor, the one afflicted, will cast off the disease; the one with a swollen throat will cast it off, and the one with a goiter will be healed.
वीहि स्वामाहुतिं जुषाणो मनसा स्वाहा मनसा यदिदं जुहोमि
Accept this offering of mine, with mind intent, with svāhā; with mind intent I make this oblation.
यस्यास्त आसनि घोरे जुहोम्येषां बद्धानामवसर्जनाय कम् । भूमिरिति त्वाभिप्रमन्वते जना निर्ऋतिरिति त्वाहं परि वेद सर्वतः
For whom there is a seat in terror, I offer this for the release of those bound; people address you as Earth, but I know you all around as Nirṛti.
भूते हविष्मती भवैष ते भागो यो अस्मासु । मुञ्चेमान् अमून् एनसः स्वाहा
Become possessed of oblation among beings; this is your share among us— release these here from sin, svāhā.
एवो ष्वस्मन् निर्ऋतेऽनेहा त्वमयस्मयान् वि चृता बन्धपाशान् । यमो मह्यं पुनरित्त्वां ददाति तस्मै यमाय नमो अस्तु मृत्यवे
Thus, O Nirṛti, be free from sin for us; break apart the iron bonds; Yama gives you back to me again— to that Yama, to Death, be homage.
अयस्मये द्रुपदे बेधिष इहाभिहितो मृत्युभिर्ये सहस्रम् । यमेन त्वं पितृभिः संविदान उत्तमं नाकमधि रोहयेमम्
O iron one, O wooden one, O one pierced, here named among deaths by the thousand— with Yama and the ancestors, may you ascend to the highest heaven.
वरणो वारयाता अयं देवो वनस्पतिः । यक्ष्मो यो अस्मिन्न् आविष्टस्तमु देवा अवीवरन्
This Varana tree, the divine Lord of the forest, wards off; whatever illness has entered into this one, the gods have driven it away.
इन्द्रस्य वचसा वयं मित्रस्य वरुणस्य च । देवानां सर्वेषां वाचा यक्ष्मं ते वारयामहे
By the command of Indra, of Mitra, and of Varuna, and by the word of all the gods, we ward off illness from you.
यथा वृत्र इमा आपस्तस्तम्भ विश्वधा यतीः । एवा ते अग्निना यक्ष्मं वैश्वानरेण वारये
As the waters held back Vritra, restraining all his might, so with Agni, with Vaisvanara, I ward off illness from you.
वृषेन्द्रस्य वृषा दिवो वृषा पृथिव्या अयम् । वृषा विश्वस्य भूतस्य त्वमेकवृषो भव
The mighty Indra is the bull of heaven, the bull of earth is this one; be you the single bull of all that exists.
समुद्र ईशे स्रवतामग्निः पृथिव्या वशी । चन्द्रमा नक्षत्राणामीशे त्वमेकवृषो भव
The ocean is lord of flowing streams, Agni is master of earth; the moon is lord of the stars—be you the single bull among them.
सम्राडस्यसुराणां ककुन् मनुष्याणाम् । देवानामर्धभागसि त्वमेकवृषो भव
You are the sovereign of the gods, the leader of men; you have a share among the gods—be you the single bull.
आ त्वाहार्षमन्तरभूर्ध्रुवस्तिष्ठाविचाचलत्। विशस्त्वा सर्वा वाञ्छन्तु मा त्वद्राष्ट्रमधि भ्रशत्
I have brought you here from within; stand firm, unmoving; may all the people desire you, may your rule not fall away.
इहैवैधि माप च्योष्ठाः पर्वत इवाविचाचलत्। इन्द्र इवेह ध्रुवस्तिष्ठेह राष्ट्रमु धारय
Remain here, do not depart, stand firm like a mountain; like Indra, stand steady here, uphold your rule here.
इन्द्र एतमदीधरत्ध्रुवं ध्रुवेण हविषा । तस्मै सोमो अधि ब्रवदयं च ब्रह्मणस्पतिः
Indra upheld this, the firm, with firm offering; to him Soma declared, and so did Brahmanaspati.
ध्रुवा द्यौर्ध्रुवा पृथिवी ध्रुवं विश्वमिदं जगत्। ध्रुवासः पर्वता इमे ध्रुवो राजा विशामयम्
Heaven is firm, earth is firm, all this world is firm; these mountains are firm, the king of the people is firm.
ध्रुवं ते राजा वरुणो ध्रुवं देवो बृहस्पतिः । ध्रुवं त इन्द्रश्चाग्निश्च राष्ट्रं धारयतां ध्रुवम्
Firm is your king Varuna, firm is the god Brihaspati; may Indra and Agni together uphold your rule firmly.
ध्रुवोऽच्युतः प्र मृणीहि शत्रून् छत्रूयतोऽधरान् पादयस्व । सर्वा दिशः संमनसः सध्रीचीर्ध्रुवाय ते समितिः कल्पतामिह
Firm, unshaken one, strike down your enemies, subdue those hostile to you; may all directions be united in purpose, may your assembly here be established firmly.
इदं यत्प्रेण्यः शिरो दत्तं सोमेन वृष्ण्यम् । ततः परि प्रजातेन हार्दिं ते शोचयामसि
This excellent head, given by Soma with strength, from that, with what is born from it, we burn away what is in your heart.
शोचयामसि ते हार्दिं शोचयामसि ते मनः । वातं धूम इव सध्र्यङ्मामेवान्वेतु ये मनः
We burn away what is in your heart, we burn away what is in your mind; as wind disperses smoke, so may whatever is in your mind depart from me.
मह्यं त्वा मित्रावरुणौ मह्यं देवी सरस्वती । मह्यं त्वा मध्यं भूम्या उभावन्तौ समस्यताम्
For me, may Mitra and Varuna, may the goddess Sarasvati, for me, may the middle space of earth, both ends, be united.
यां ते रुद्र इषुमास्यदङ्गेभ्यो हृदयाय च । इदं तामद्य त्वद्वयं विषूचीं वि वृहामसि
Whatever arrow Rudra has let loose against your limbs or your heart, this very day, O twin-born one, we drive away that disease.
यास्ते शतं धमनयोऽङ्गान्यनु विष्ठिताः । तासां ते सर्वासां वयं निर्विषाणि ह्वयामसि
Whatever hundreds of your darts are fixed in the limbs, of all these, we call them out, deprived of their poison.
नमस्ते रुद्रास्यते नमः प्रतिहितायै । नमो विसृज्यमानायै नमो निपतितायै
Homage to you, Rudra, homage to the one who is opposed, homage to the one who is released, homage to the one who has fallen.
इमं यवमष्टायोगैः षड्योगेभिरचर्कृषुः । तेना ते तन्वो रपोऽपाचीनमप व्यये
With these eightfold and sixfold mixtures they have prepared this barley; by this, may the stains of your body be washed away and flow off to the west.
न्यग्वातो वाति न्यक् तपति सूर्यः । नीचीनमघ्न्या दुहे न्यग्भवतु ते रपः
The wind blows downward, the sun burns downward; the unmilked cow gives milk downward—may your impurity also become downward.
आप इद्वा उ भेषजीरापो अमीवचातनीः । आपो विश्वस्य भेषजीस्तास्ते कृण्वन्तु भेषजम्
Waters are indeed healing, waters drive away disease; waters are the remedy for all—may those waters make healing for you.
वातरंहा भव वाजिन् युजमान इन्द्रस्य याहि प्रसवे मनोजवाः । युञ्जन्तु त्वा मरुतो विश्ववेदस आ ते त्वस्ता पत्सु जवं दधातु
Become swift as the wind, O steed, yoked and ready; go with Indra’s urging, swift as thought. Let the Maruts, all-knowing, yoke you; may Tvashtar place speed in your feet in battle.
