अहीनां सर्वेषां विषं परा वहन्तु सिन्धवः । हतास्तिरश्चिराजयो निपिष्टासः पृदाकवः
Let the rivers carry away the poison of all the serpents; the slain, the long-defeated, the crushed, the scattered.
{११} ओषधीनामहं वृण उर्वरीरिव साधुया । नयाम्यर्वतीरिवाहे निरैतु विषम्
Among the plants I choose the best, as one chooses fertile fields; as a skilled driver leads the horse, so let the poison depart.
यदग्नौ सूर्ये विषं पृथिव्यामोषधीषु यत्। कान्दाविषं कनक्नकं निरैत्वैतु ते विषम्
Whatever poison is in fire, in the sun, in the earth, or in the plants—let the poison called kāndā and kanaknaka depart from you.
ये अग्निजा ओषधिजा अहीनां ये अप्सुजा विद्युत आबभूवुः । येषां जातानि बहुधा महान्ति तेभ्यः सर्पेभ्यो नमसा विधेम
Those born from fire, from plants, from serpents, those born in the waters, from lightning—of all those great and manifold serpents, we pay homage with reverence.
तौदी नामासि कन्या घृताची नाम वा असि । अधस्पदेन ते पदमा ददे विषदूषणम्
You are called Taudī, you are called Ghṛtācī; I have set your step below, as a destroyer of poison.
अङ्गादङ्गात्प्र च्यावय हृदयं परि वर्जय । अधा विषस्य यत्तेजोऽवाचीनं तदेतु ते
From limb to limb drive it out, remove it from the heart; let the downward force of the poison go away from you.
आरे अभूद्विषमरौद्विषे विषमप्रागपि । अग्निर्विषमहेर्निरधात्सोमो निरणयीत्। दंष्टारमन्वगाद्विषमहिरमृत
Far away has the poison gone, the poison has fled eastward; Agni has burned up the poison of the serpent, Soma has carried it away; the poison has followed the fang into immortality.
