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.
इन्द्रो रूपेणाग्निर्वहेन प्रजापतिः परमेष्ठी विराट्। विश्वानरे अक्रमत वैश्वानरे अक्रमतानडुह्यक्रमत । सोऽदृंहयत सोऽधारयत
Indra in form, Agni as the carrier, Prajapati the supreme, Virāj; all entered the universal fire, entered Vaiśvānara, entered the Anaḍuha; he made firm, he upheld.
मध्यमेतदनडुहो यत्रैष वह आहितः । एतावदस्य प्राचीनं यावान् प्रत्यङ्समाहितः
This is the middle of the Anaḍuha, where this carrier is placed; as far as it is placed to the east, so far it is placed to the west.
यो वेदानडुहो दोहान्त्सप्तानुपदस्वतः । प्रजां च लोकं चाप्नोति तथा सप्तऋषयो विदुः
He who knows the seven milking places of the Anaḍuha, following in order, obtains progeny and world; thus the seven seers knew.
पद्भिः सेदिमवक्रामन्न् इरां जङ्घाभिरुत्खिदन् । श्रमेणानड्वान् कीलालं कीनाशश्चाभि गच्छतः
With their feet they pressed, with their shanks they dug out the food; by toil the Anaḍuha and the ploughman both approach the sap.
द्वादश वा एता रात्रीर्व्रत्या आहुः प्रजापतेः । तत्रोप ब्रह्म यो वेद तद्वा अनडुहो व्रतम्
These twelve nights are called the vow of Prajapati; whoever knows that Brahman there, that is the vow of the Anaḍuha.
दुहे सायं दुहे प्रातर्दुहे मध्यंदिनं परि । दोहा ये अस्य संयन्ति तान् विद्मानुपदस्वतः
It is milked in the evening, milked in the morning, milked at midday all around; whoever knows the milking times, following in order, knows them.
रोहण्यसि रोहण्यस्थ्नश्छिन्नस्य रोहणी । रोहयेदमरुन्धति
You are the healer, the healer of the broken, the healer of the cut; let the undeceiving one cause healing.
यत्ते रिष्टं यत्ते द्युत्तमस्ति पेष्ट्रं त आत्मनि । धाता तद्भद्रया पुनः सं दधत्परुषा परुः
Whatever is injured in you, whatever is shattered, whatever is crushed in your body, may the Creator, with good fortune, again unite and bind together, part by part.
सं ते मज्जा मज्ज्ञा भवतु समु ते परुषा परुः । सं ते मांसस्य विस्रस्तं समस्थ्यपि रोहतु
Let your marrow be joined with marrow, your joint with joint; let what has fallen from your flesh, together with the bone, grow again.
मज्जा मज्ञा सं धीयतां चर्मणा चर्म रोहतु । असृक्ते अस्थि रोहतु मांसं मांसेन रोहतु
Let marrow be joined with marrow, skin with skin; let bone grow with blood, flesh with flesh.
लोम लोम्ना सं कल्पया त्वचा सं कल्पया त्वचम् । असृक्ते अस्थि रोहतु छिन्नं सं धेह्योषधे
Arrange hair with hair, fit skin with skin; let bone grow with blood, O herb, unite what is cut.
स उत्तिष्ठ प्रेहि प्र द्रव रथः सुचक्रः । सुपविः सुनाभिः प्रति तिष्ठोर्ध्वः
Rise up, go forth, run ahead, the chariot is well-wheeled, well-yoked, well-naved; stand upright.
यदि कर्तं पतित्वा संशश्रे यदि वाश्मा प्रहृतो जघान । ऋभू रथस्येवाङ्गानि सं दधत्परुषा परुः
If, having fallen from the axle, it was broken, or if a stone struck and smashed it, let the Ribhus, like the parts of a chariot, unite joint with joint.
उत देवा अवहितं देवा उन्नयथा पुनः । उतागश्चक्रुषं देवा देवा जीवयथा पुनः
The gods have placed down, the gods have raised up again; the gods have made whole, the gods have revived again.
द्वाविमौ वातौ वात आ सिन्धोरा परावतः । दक्षं ते अन्य आवातु व्यन्यो वातु यद्रपः
These two winds, O Wind, come from the distant shore of the river; let one bring you skill, let the other drive away what is harmful.
आ वात वाहि भेषजं वि वात वाहि यद्रपः । त्वं हि विश्वभेषज देवानां दूत ईयसे
O Wind, bring healing; O Wind, drive away what is harmful; for you are the universal healer, you go as the messenger of the gods.
त्रायन्तामिमं देवास्त्रायन्तां मरुतां गणाः । त्रायन्तां विश्वा भूतानि यथायमरपा असत्
May the gods protect this man, may the hosts of the Maruts protect him; may all beings protect him, so that he may be free from harm.
आ त्वागमं शंतातिभिरथो अरिष्टतातिभिः । दक्षं त उग्रमाभारिषं परा यक्ष्मं सुवामि ते
I have come to you with blessings and with means of safety; I bring you strength, fierce and powerful; I drive away disease from you.
अयं मे हस्तो भगवान् अयं मे भगवत्तरः । अयं मे विश्वभेषजोऽयं शिवाभिमर्शनः
This hand of mine is blessed, this hand of mine is even more blessed; this is the universal healer, this is the auspicious touch.
हस्ताभ्यां दशशाखाभ्यां जिह्वा वाचः पुरोगवी । अनामयित्नुभ्यां हस्ताभ्यां ताभ्यां त्वाभि मृशामसि
With both hands, ten-fingered, with the tongue that leads speech, with hands that bring health, with these we touch you.
