4.8 भूतो भूतेषु पय आ दधाति स भूतानामधिपतिर्बभूव । तस्य मृत्युश्चरति राजसूयं स राजा अनु मन्यतामिदम्
The being places milk among beings; he became the lord of beings. Death moves in his royal consecration; let the king approve this.
अभि प्रेहि माप वेन उग्रश्चेत्ता सपत्नहा । आ तिष्ठ मित्रवर्धन तुभ्यं देवा अधि ब्रुवन्
Go forth, do not falter, be fierce, be wise, slay your rival; stand firm, O increaser of friends, for the gods have spoken for you.
आतिष्ठन्तं परि विश्वे अभूषं छ्रियं वसानश्चरति स्वरोचिः । महत्तद्वृष्णो असुरस्य नामा विश्वरूपो अमृतानि तस्थौ
All the beings adorned themselves around the one who stands firm, wearing splendor, moving with radiance. That is the great name of the mighty Asura; the immortal, of manifold forms, has stood firm.
व्याघ्रो अधि वैयाघ्रे वि क्रमस्व दिशो महीः । विशस्त्वा सर्वा वाञ्छन्त्वापो दिव्याः पयस्वतीः
As a tiger, stride forth among tigers, traverse the great directions; may all the waters, the heavenly, the milky, desire you.
या आपो दिव्याः पयसा मदन्त्यन्तरिक्ष उत वा पृथिव्याम् । तासां त्वा सर्वासामपामभि षिञ्चामि वर्चसा
The heavenly waters that rejoice with milk, whether in the atmosphere or on earth—of all those waters, I sprinkle you with their radiance.
अभि त्वा वर्चसासिचन्न् आपो दिव्याः पयस्वतीः । यथासो मित्रवर्धनस्तथा त्वा सविता करत्
I have sprinkled you with radiance, with the heavenly, milky waters; as you are the increaser of friends, so may Savitar make you.
एना व्याघ्रं परिषस्वजानाः सिंहं हिन्वन्ति महते सौभगाय । समुद्रं न सुभुवस्तस्थिवांसं मर्मृज्यन्ते द्वीपिनमप्स्वन्तः
With this, embracing the tiger, they urge on the lion for great good fortune; like the ocean, the strong one stands firm, the panther is cleansed within the waters.
4.९ एहि जीवं त्रायमाणं पर्वतस्यास्यक्ष्यम् । विश्वेभिर्देवैर्दत्तं परिधिर्जीवनाय कम्
Come, living one, being protected, to the imperishable mouth of the mountain; the enclosure given by all the gods is for the sake of life.
परिपाणं पुरुषाणां परिपाणं गवामसि । अश्वानामर्वतां परिपाणाय तस्थिषे
You are the protector of men, you are the protector of cows; you stand for the protection of horses and those without strength.
उतासि परिपाणं यातुजम्भनमाञ्जन । उतामृतस्य त्वं वेत्थाथो असि जीवभोजनमथो हरितभेषजम्
You are also the guardian, the spell against sorcery, the ointment; you know the nectar, you are the food of the living, and the green medicine.
यस्याञ्जन प्रसर्पस्यङ्गमङ्गं परुष्परुः । ततो यक्ष्मं वि बाधस उग्रो मध्यमशीरिव
Whose ointment, spreading, touches limb after limb, harsh upon harsh; from that, drive away disease, fierce one, as a middle tooth does.
नैनं प्राप्नोति शपथो न कृत्या नाभिशोचनम् । नैनं विष्कन्धमश्नुते यस्त्वा बिभर्त्याञ्जन
Neither curse nor witchcraft nor lamentation reaches him; nor does the spreading poison touch him who bears you, ointment.
असन्मन्त्राद्दुष्वप्न्याद्दुष्कृताच्छमलादुत । दुर्हार्दश्चक्षुषो घोरात्तस्मान् नः पाह्याञ्जन
From evil incantation, from bad dreams, from misdeeds, from filth, from the fierce pain of the eye, protect us from that, ointment.
इदं विद्वान् आञ्जन सत्यं वक्ष्यामि नानृतम् । सनेयमश्वं गामहमात्मानं तव पूरुष
Knowing this, ointment, I speak truth, not falsehood: may I keep horse, cow, myself, and your man.
त्रयो दासा आञ्जनस्य तक्मा बलास आदहिः । वर्षिष्ठः पर्वतानां त्रिककुन् नाम ते पिता
Three servants of the ointment are fever, consumption, and burning; the eldest of the mountains, Trikakud, is your father.
यदाञ्जनं त्रैककुदं जातं हिमवतस्परि । यातूंश्च सर्वाञ्जम्भयत्सर्वाश्च यातुधान्यः
When the ointment, born of Trikakud, arose beyond the Himalaya, it subdues all sorcerers and all sorcerous beings.
यदि वासि त्रैककुदं यदि यामुनमुच्यसे । उभे ते भद्रे नाम्नी ताभ्यां नः पाह्याञ्जन
Whether you are Trikakud's, or are called Yamuna's, both your auspicious names, with them, protect us, ointment.
वाताज्जातो अन्तरिक्षाद्विद्युतो ज्योतिषस्परि । स नो हिरण्यजाः शङ्खः कृशनः पात्वंहसः
Born from wind, from the atmosphere, from lightning, from the light; may the golden-born conch, the slender one, protect us from harm.
यो अग्रतो रोचनानां समुद्रादधि जज्ञिषे । शङ्खेन हत्वा रक्षांस्यत्त्रिणो वि षहामहे
He who was born before the shining ones, from the ocean; by the conch, having struck down the demons, we overcome all obstacles.
शङ्खेनामीवाममतिं शङ्खेनोत सदान्वाः । शङ्खो नो विश्वभेषजः कृशनः पात्वंहसः
With the conch, we drive away disease and ill will; with the conch, also, perpetual enemies; the conch, universal medicine, slender one, protect us from harm.
दिवि जातः समुद्रजः सिन्धुतस्पर्याभृतः । स नो हिरण्यजाः शङ्ख आयुष्प्रतरणो मणिः
Born in heaven, born from the ocean, carried by the river; may the golden-born conch, the jewel that crosses over life, protect us.
समुद्राज्जातो मणिर्वृत्राज्जातो दिवाकरः । सो अस्मान्त्सर्वतः पातु हेत्या देवासुरेभ्यः
Born from the ocean, the jewel; born from the slayer of Vritra, the sun; may he protect us everywhere from the weapons of gods and demons.
हिरण्यानामेकोऽसि सोमात्त्वमधि जज्ञिषे । रथे त्वमसि दर्शत इषुधौ रोचनस्त्वं प्र ण आयूंषि तारिषत्
You are the only one among the golden ones; you were born from Soma; you are visible in the chariot, radiant in the quiver; may you carry us across to long life.
देवानामस्थि कृशनं बभूव तदात्मन्वच्चरत्यप्स्वन्तः । तत्ते बध्नाम्यायुषे वर्चसे बलाय दीर्घायुत्वाय शतशारदाय कार्शनस्त्वाभि रक्षतु
The slender bone of the gods became so; it moves in the waters according to its own nature; I bind you for life, for brilliance, for strength, for long years, for a hundred autumns; may the slender one protect you.
अनड्वान् दाधार पृथिवीमुत द्यामनड्वान् दाधारोर्वन्तरिक्षम् । अनड्वान् दाधार प्रदिशः षडुर्वीरनड्वान् विश्वं भुवनमा विवेश
The bull supported the earth, and the sky; the bull supported the broad atmosphere; the bull supported the six directions; the bull entered all the worlds.
अनड्वान् इन्द्रः स पशुभ्यो वि चष्टे त्रयां छक्रो वि मिमीते अध्वनः । भूतं भविष्यद्भुवना दुहानः सर्वा देवानां चरति व्रतानि
Indra is the bull; he looks after the cattle; the triple wheel measures out the paths; milking the past, the future, and the worlds, he follows all the vows of the gods.
इन्द्रो जातो मनुष्येष्वन्तर्घर्मस्तप्तश्चरति शोशुचानः । सुप्रजाः सन्त्स उदारे न सर्षद्यो नाश्नीयादनडुहो विजानन्
Indra, born among men, moves within as the heated Gharma, burning and glowing; let him not stir from the noble house where there are good offspring, nor eat, nor milk the Anaḍuha, being wise.
अनड्वान् दुहे सुकृतस्य लोक ऐनं प्याययति पवमानः पुरस्तात्। पर्जन्यो धारा मरुत ऊधो अस्य यज्ञः पयो दक्षिणा दोहो अस्य
The Anaḍuha, not to be milked, yields the world of good deeds; the purifying one fills him from the front; rain is his stream, the Maruts his udder, sacrifice his milk, the fee his milking.
यस्य नेशे यज्ञपतिर्न यज्ञो नास्य दातेशे न प्रतिग्रहीता । यो विश्वजिद्विश्वभृद्विश्वकर्मा घर्मं नो ब्रूत यतमश्चतुष्पात्
He whose lord is not the master of sacrifice, whose sacrifice is not his own, who has neither giver nor receiver; who conquers all, supports all, does all—tell us of that Gharma, striving, whether four-footed.
येन देवाः स्वरारुरुहुर्हित्वा शरीरममृतस्य नाभिम् । तेन गेष्म सुकृतस्य लोकं घर्मस्य व्रतेन तपसा यशस्यवः
By whom the gods ascended to heaven, leaving the body, reaching the navel of immortality—with that, let us attain the world of good deeds, by the vow and austerity of Gharma, renowned.
