यथा सूर्यस्य रश्मयः परापतन्त्याशुमत्। एवा त्वं कासे प्र पत समुद्रस्यानु विक्षरम्
As the rays of the sun swiftly fly forth, so may you, O cough, fly away, following the flow of the ocean.
आयने ते परायणे दूर्वा रोहन्तु पुष्पिणीः । उत्सो वा तत्र जायतां ह्रदो वा पुण्डरीकवान्
At your journey and return, may the sacred dūrvā grass grow, bearing flowers; may a spring arise there, or a pond full of lotuses.
अपामिदं न्ययनं समुद्रस्य निवेशनम् । मध्ये ह्रदस्य नो गृहाः पराचीना मुखा कृधि
This is the descent of the waters, the resting place of the ocean; in the midst of the lake are our homes—make their faces turned away from us.
हिमस्य त्वा जरायुणा शाले परि व्ययामसि । शीतह्रदा हि नो भुवोऽग्निष्कृणोतु भेषजम्
With the membrane of frost we enclose you around the rice field; for our lands are cold-laked—may Agni prepare the remedy.
विश्वजित्त्रायमाणायै मा परि देहि । त्रायमाणे द्विपाच्च सर्वं नो रक्ष चतुष्पाद् यच्च नः स्वम्
Do not harm the one who conquers all and protects; in her protection, guard all our two-footed and four-footed beings, and whatever is ours.
त्रायमाणे विश्वजिते मा परि देहि । विश्वजिद्द्विपाच्च सर्वं नो रक्ष चतुष्पाड्यच्च नः स्वम्

Do not harm the one who knows all and brings prosperity; in her all-knowing, guard all our two-footed and four-footed beings, and whatever is ours.
त्वं नो मेधे प्रथमा गोभिरश्वेभिरा गहि । त्वं सूर्यस्य रश्मिभिस्त्वं नो असि यज्ञिया
You, O Medhā, come to us first with cows and horses; you are with the rays of the sun, you are worthy of sacrifice for us.
मेधामहं प्रथमां ब्रह्मण्वतीं ब्रह्मजूतामृषिष्टुताम् । प्रपीतां ब्रह्मचारिभिर्देवानामवसे हुवे
I invoke Medhā, the first, inspired by the Brāhmaṇas, praised by the seers, honored by the students, for the help of the gods.
यां मेधामृभवो विदुर्यां मेधामसुरा विदुः । ऋषयो भद्रां मेधां यां विदुस्तां मय्या वेशयामसि
The wisdom which the sages born of truth know, the wisdom which the gods know, the auspicious wisdom which the seers know—may we instill that wisdom within ourselves.
यामृषयो भूतकृतो मेधां मेधाविनो विदुः । तया मामद्य मेधयाग्ने मेधाविनं कृणु
The wisdom which the wise seers, creators of beings, know—O Agni, with that wisdom, make me wise today.
मेधां सायं मेधां प्रातर्मेधां मध्यन्दिनं परि । मेधां सूर्यस्य रश्मिभिर्वचसा वेशयामहे
Wisdom in the evening, wisdom in the morning, wisdom throughout midday—may we instill wisdom with the rays of the sun and with speech.
पिप्पली क्षिप्तभेषज्युतातिविद्धभेषजी । तां देवाः समकल्पयन्न् इयं जीवितवा अलम्
The long pepper, whose remedy is cast, whose remedy is well-known—this the gods have arranged; it is sufficient for life.
पिप्पल्यः समवदन्तायतीर्जननादधि । यं जीवमश्नवामहै न स रिष्याति पूरुषः
The long peppers, speaking together, are placed at the origin of birth; the person who partakes of this living one does not perish.
असुरास्त्वा न्यखनन् देवास्त्वोदवपन् पुनः । वातीकृतस्य भेषजीमथो क्षिप्तस्य भेषजीम्
The demons buried you, but the gods dug you up again—the remedy for what is wind-caused, the remedy for what is cast down.
प्रत्नो हि कमीड्यो अध्वरेषु सनाच्च होता नव्यश्च सत्सि । स्वां चाग्ने तन्वं पिप्रायस्वास्मभ्यं च सौभगमा यजस्व
You are ancient and worthy of praise in the sacrifices, both the old and the new Hotṛ; O Agni, cherish your own form and grant us good fortune.
ज्येष्ठघ्न्यां जातो विचृतोर्यमस्य मूलबर्हणात्परि पाह्येनम् । अत्येनं नेषद्दुरितानि विश्वा दीर्घायुत्वाय शतशारदाय
Born to destroy the eldest, from the root of Yama's dispersal, protect this one; lead him past all evils for a long life of a hundred autumns.
व्याघ्रेऽह्न्यजनिष्ट वीरो नक्षत्रजा जायमानः सुवीरः । स मा वधीत्पितरं वर्धमानो मा मातरं प्र मिनीज्जनित्रीम्
A hero was born on the day of the tiger, born under a constellation, a strong man; may he not strike his father as he grows, nor harm his mother who bore him.
इमं मे अग्ने पुरुषं मुमुग्ध्ययं यो बद्धः सुयतो लालपीति । अतोऽधि ते कृणवद्भागधेयं यदानुन्मदितोऽसति
O Agni, release this man for me—he who is bound, who mutters with a loosened tongue; from this, assign him his proper share, when he is no longer mad.
अग्निष्टे नि शमयतु यदि ते मन उद्युतम् । कृणोमि विद्वान् भेषजं यथानुन्मदितोऽससि
May Agni calm your mind if it is agitated; I, knowing, prepare the remedy, so that you may be restored from madness.
देवैनसादुन्मदितमुन्मत्तं रक्षसस्परि । कृणोमि विद्वान् भेषजं यदानुन्मदितोऽसति
From the gods, from the sinless, from madness, from the mad, from the demons—I, knowing, prepare the remedy, so that you may be restored from madness.

मा ज्येष्ठं वधीदयमग्न एषां मूलबर्हणात्परि पाह्येनम् । स ग्राह्याः पाशान् वि चृत प्रजानन् तुभ्यं देवा अनु जानन्तु विश्वे
O Agni, do not let this one slay the eldest among them; protect him from the root of Yama's dispersal; loosen the binding cords, knowing, so that all the gods may recognize you.
उन् मुञ्च पाशांस्त्वमग्न एषां त्रयस्त्रिभिरुत्सिता येभिरासन् । स ग्राह्याः पाशान् वि चृत प्रजानन् पितापुत्रौ मातरं मुञ्च सर्वान्
Release the cords, O Agni, from these, the thirty-three with which they were bound; loosen the binding cords, knowing, and free the father and son, the mother, all of them.
येभिः पाशैः परिवित्तो विबद्धोऽङ्गेअङ्ग आर्पित उत्सितश्च । वि ते मुच्यन्तं विमुचो हि सन्ति भ्रूणघ्नि पूषन् दुरितानि मृक्ष्व
With whatever cords he is surrounded, bound, and fastened limb by limb—may those be released for you, for there are releasers; O Pūṣan, remover of evil, cleanse the sins that slay the unborn.
त्रिते देवा अमृजतैतदेनस्त्रित एनन् मनुष्येषु ममृजे । ततो यदि त्वा ग्राहिरानशे तां ते देवा ब्रह्मणा नाशयन्तु
The gods cleansed this sin for Trita; Trita cleansed it among men; if the seizure has seized you, may the gods destroy it with the sacred word.
मरीचीर्धूमान् प्र विशानु पाप्मन्न् उदारान् गच्छोत वा नीहारान् । नदीनं फेनामनु तान् वि नश्य भ्रूणघ्नि पूषन् दुरितानि मृक्ष्व
Let the rays, the smoke, disperse, O sin, go to the wide spaces or to the mists; follow the foam of the rivers—O Pūṣan, remover of evil, cleanse the sins that slay the unborn.

The guilt of man, set in twelvefold measure, washed away from Trita—if the seizure has not consumed you from that, may the gods destroy it for you by means of the sacred utterance.
यद्देवा देवहेडनं देवासश्चकृम वयम् । आदित्यास्तस्मान् नो युयमृतस्य ऋतेन मुञ्चत
Whatever offense against the gods we, the gods, have committed—O Ādityas, from that, you release us by truth, by the law of truth.
