आ प्र द्रव परमस्याः परावतः शिवे ते द्यावापृथिवी उभे स्ताम् । तदयं राजा वरुणस्तथाह स त्वायमह्वत्स उपेदमेहि
Run forth from the farthest distance; may both Heaven and Earth be auspicious for you. Thus says King Varuṇa; he has called you—come here to him.
इन्द्रेन्द्र मनुष्याः परेहि सं ह्यज्ञास्था वरुणैः संविदानः । स त्वायमह्वत्स्वे सधस्थे स देवान् यक्षत्स उ कल्पयद्विशः
Go forth, O Indra, among men; indeed, you have stood together with the wise, with Varuṇa. He has called you to his assembly; he has worshipped the gods, he has arranged the peoples.
पथ्या रेवतीर्बहुधा विरूपाः सर्वाः संगत्य वरीयस्ते अक्रन् । तास्त्वा सर्वाः संविदाना ह्वयन्तु दशमीमुग्रः सुमना वशेह
The prosperous, many-formed, and varied paths, all coming together, have made you great. May all of them, united, call you; may the mighty one, well-disposed, be under your control.
आयमगन् पर्णमणिर्बली बलेन प्रमृणन्त्सपत्नान् । ओजो देवानां पय ओषधीनां वर्चसा मा जिन्वन्त्वप्रयावन्
The leaf-jewel has come, powerful with strength, striking down rivals with might. May the vigor of the gods, the milk of the plants, and their brilliance strengthen me, unfailing.
मयि क्षत्रं पर्णमणे मयि धारयताद्रयिम् । अहं राष्ट्रस्याभीवर्गे निजो भूयासमुत्तमः
May sovereignty be in me, O leaf-jewel; may you grant me steadfastness. May I, in the gathering of the people, become the most eminent and supreme.
यं निदधुर्वनस्पतौ गुह्यं देवाः प्रियं मणिम् । तमस्मभ्यं सहायुषा देवा ददतु भर्तवे
The jewel which the gods placed, hidden, in the tree, dear to them—may the gods give it to us, with long life, to possess.
सोमस्य पर्णः सह उग्रमागन्न् इन्द्रेण दत्तो वरुणेन शिष्टः । तं प्रियासं बहु रोचमानो दीर्घायुत्वाय शतशारदाय
The leaf of Soma, strong and mighty, has come, given by Indra, preserved by Varuṇa. May that beloved one, shining greatly, be for long life, for a hundred autumns.
आ मारुक्षत्पर्णमणिर्मह्या अरिष्टतातये । यथाहमुत्तरोऽसान्यर्यम्ण उत संविदः
Let the leaf-jewel protect me from harm, from my enemy's attack. As I am superior to others by Aryaman's favor and by agreement.
ये धीवानो रथकाराः कर्मारा ये मनीषिणः । उपस्तीन् पर्ण मह्यं त्वं सर्वान् कृण्वभितो जनान्
Those who are skilled—chariot-makers, smiths, and thinkers—may you, O leaf, make all people subject to me, on every side.
ये राजानो राजकृतः सूता ग्रामण्यश्च ये । उपस्तीन् पर्ण मह्यं त्वं सर्वान् कृण्वभितो जनान्
Those kings, those appointed by kings, charioteers, and leaders of villages—may you, O leaf, make all people subject to me, on every side.
पर्णोऽसि तनूपानः सयोनिर्वीरो वीरेण मया । संवत्सरस्य तेजसा तेन बध्नामि त्वा मणे
You are the leaf, a body-protector, united with a hero, heroic with me. With the energy of the year, with that I bind you, O jewel.
पुमान् पुंसः परिजातोऽश्वत्थः खदिरादधि । स हन्तु शत्रून् मामकान् यान् अहं द्वेष्मि ये च माम्
The male offspring of the male, the Aśvattha tree, stands above the Khadira. May it strike down my enemies—those whom I hate and those who hate me.
तान् अश्वत्थ निः शृणीहि शत्रून् वैबाधदोधतः । इन्द्रेण वृत्रघ्ना मेदी मित्रेण वरुणेन च
O Aśvattha, cast out those enemies, drive them away far off; with Indra, the slayer of Vṛtra, with Mitra, and with Varuṇa.
यथाश्वत्थ निरभनोऽन्तर्महत्यर्णवे । एवा तान्त्सर्वान् निर्भङ्ग्धि यान् अहं द्वेष्मि ये च माम्
Just as the Aśvattha tree has been cast down into the deep, vast ocean, so may you cast down all those whom I hate and those who hate me.
यः सहमानश्चरसि सासहान इव ऋषभः । तेनाश्वत्थ त्वया वयं सपत्नान्त्सहिषीमहि
You who endure, moving about, like a bull among those who endure—by you, O Aśvattha, may we overcome our rivals.
सिनात्वेनान् निर्ऋतिर्मृत्योः पाशैरमोक्यैः । अश्वत्थ शत्रून् मामकान् यान् अहं द्वेष्मि ये च माम्
With your strength, may destruction and the snares of death be loosened; O Aśvattha, cast down my enemies—those whom I hate and those who hate me.
यथाश्वत्थ वानस्पत्यान् आरोहन् कृणुषेऽधरान् । एवा मे शत्रोर्मूर्धानं विष्वग्भिन्द्धि सहस्व च
As you cause the roots of the aśvattha tree to grow upwards, so likewise, strike and shatter in every direction the head of my enemy, and overpower him.
तेऽधराञ्चः प्र प्लवन्तां छिन्ना नौरिव बन्धनात्। न वैबाधप्रणुत्तानां पुनरस्ति निवर्तनम्
Let those who are cast down drift away, like a boat cut loose from its moorings; for those driven away by distress, there is no return.
प्रैणान् नुदे मनसा प्र चित्तेनोत ब्रह्मणा । प्रैणान् वृक्षस्य शाखयाश्वत्थस्य नुदामहे
I drive them away with mind, with thought, and with sacred utterance; with the branch of the aśvattha tree, we drive them away.
हरिणस्य रघुष्यदोऽधि शीर्षणि भेषजम् । स क्षेत्रियं विषाणया विषूचीनमनीनशत्
Upon the head of the swift-moving deer is a remedy; with its horn, it has destroyed the kṣetriya, the wasting disease, and the evil spirit.
अनु त्वा हरिणो वृषा पद्भिश्चतुर्भिरक्रमीत्। विषाणे वि ष्य गुष्पितं यदस्य क्षेत्रियं हृदि
The vigorous deer followed you with its four feet; in its horn is the remedy for what kṣetriya is lodged in his heart.
अदो यदवरोचते चतुष्पक्षमिव छदिः । तेना ते सर्वं क्षेत्रियमङ्गेभ्यो नाशयामसि
That which has been revealed, like a cover with four corners—by that we destroy all kṣetriya from your limbs.
अमू ये दिवि सुभगे विचृतौ नाम तारके । वि क्षेत्रियस्य मुञ्चतामधमं पाशमुत्तमम्
Those who are in the sky, O fortunate one, wandering as stars by name—may they release the lower and upper bonds of kṣetriya from you.
आप इद्वा उ भेषजीरापो अमीवचातनीः । आपो विश्वस्य भेषजीस्तास्त्वा मुञ्चन्तु क्षेत्रियात्
The waters, indeed, are healing; the waters are disease-removing; the waters are the remedy for all—may they release you from kṣetriya.
यदासुतेः क्रियमानायाः क्षेत्रियं त्वा व्यानशे । वेदाहं तस्य भेषजं क्षेत्रियं नाशयामि त्वत्
Whatever kṣetriya has been produced in you from the act of striking, I know the remedy for that; I destroy the kṣetriya in you.
अपवासे नक्षत्राणामपवास उषसामुत । अपास्मत्सर्वं दुर्भूतमप क्षेत्रियमुच्छतु
From the withdrawal of the stars, from the withdrawal of the dawns, let all misfortune depart from us, let the kṣetriya be removed.
आ यातु मित्र ऋतुभिः कल्पमानः संवेशयन् पृथिवीमुस्रियाभिः । अथास्मभ्यं वरुणो वायुरग्निर्बृहद्राष्ट्रं संवेश्यं दधातु
Let Mitra come here with the seasons, arranging the earth with the rays; then may Varuṇa, Vāyu, and Agni establish for us a great, secure domain.
धाता रातिः सवितेदं जुषन्तामिन्द्रस्त्वष्टा प्रति हर्यन्तु मे वचः । हुवे देवीमदितिं शूरपुत्रां सजातानां मध्यमेष्ठा यथासानि
May Dhātṛ, Rati, and Savitṛ accept this; may Indra and Tvaṣṭṛ favor my speech; I invoke the goddess Aditi, mother of heroes, to be among her kin as the best.
हुवे सोमं सवितारं नमोभिर्विश्वान् आदित्यामहमुत्तरत्वे । अयमग्निर्दीदायद्दीर्घमेव सजातैरिद्धोऽप्रतिब्रुवद्भिः
I invoke Soma, the impeller, with reverence, and all the Ādityas in the north; this Agni has blazed forth long with his kin, kindled by those who do not contradict.
इहेदसाथ न परो गमाथेर्यो गोपाः पुष्टपतिर्व आजत्। अस्मै कामायोप कामिनीर्विश्वे वो देवा उपसंयन्तु
Here you should stay, do not go elsewhere—he who is the herdsman, the lord of nourishment, has come; for his desire, let all you gods, desiring, come together.
