स्वस्तिदा विशां पतिर्वृत्रहा विमृधो वशी । वृषेन्द्रः पुर एतु नः सोमपा अभयंकरः
May the giver of well-being, lord of the people, slayer of obstacles, mighty and powerful Indra, who drinks Soma and brings fearlessness, come to us within the city.
वि न इन्द्र मृधो जहि नीचा यच्छ पृतन्यतः । अधमं गमया तमो यो अस्मामभिदासति
O Indra, scatter the obstacles, subdue and cast down the hostile ones; send into darkness whoever attacks us.
वि रक्षो वि मृधो जहि वि वृत्रस्य हनू रुज । वि मन्युमिन्द्र वृत्रहन्न् अमित्रस्याभिदासतः
Scatter the demons, scatter the obstacles, break the jaws of the adversary; O Indra, slayer of Vṛtra, disperse the wrath of the enemy who assaults us.
अपेन्द्र द्विषतो मनोऽप जिज्यासतो वधम् । वि महच्छर्म यच्छ वरीयो यावया वधम्
O Indra, drive away the mind of the hostile, drive away the intent of the jealous, remove the great covering, grant us the greater path, and ward off harm.
अनु सूर्यमुदयतां हृद्द्योतो हरिमा च ते । गो रोहितस्य वर्णेन तेन त्वा परि दध्मसि
Let the radiance of your heart follow the rising sun, and your golden hue; with the color of the red cow, we envelop you.

We surround you with red hues for long life, so that you may be unaging and never become pale.
या रोहिणीर्देवत्या गावो या उत रोहिणीः । रूपंरूपं वयोवयस्ताभिष्ट्वा परि दध्मसि
Those divine red cows, and those red ones, each with their own form and age, with them we surround you.
शुकेषु ते हरिमाणं रोपणाकासु दध्मसि । अथो हारिद्रवेषु ते हरिमाणं नि दध्मसि
We place your golden color among the white ones, and also in the turmeric plants we place your golden color.
नक्तंजातासि ओषधे रामे कृष्णे असिक्नि च । इदं रजनि रजय किलासं पलितं च यत्
You are born at night, O herb, lovely, dark, and black; this is the dye for the night, for what is leprous and gray.
किलासं च पलितं च निरितो नाशया पृषत्। आ त्वा स्वो विशतां वर्णः परा शुक्लानि पातय
Destroy the leprosy and the grayness, O black one; let your own color enter you, and cast away the whiteness.

Whatever is leprous of the bone, or of the flesh, or on the skin, the mark made by the Brahman, let the white blemish be removed.
सुपर्णो जातः प्रथमस्तस्य त्वं पित्तमासिथ । तदासुरी युधा जिता रूपं चक्रे वनस्पतीन्
The eagle was born first; you became its bile; then the demoness, conquered in battle, shaped the forms of the trees.
आसुरी चक्रे प्रथमेदं किलासभेषजमिदं किलासनाशनम् । अनीनशत्किलासं सरूपामकरत्त्वचम्
The demoness first made this remedy for leprosy, this destroyer of leprosy; she made the skin uniform, free from leprosy.
सरूपा नाम ते माता सरूपो नाम ते पिता । सरूपकृत्त्वमोषधे सा सरूपमिदं कृधि
Your mother is called Uniform, your father is called Uniform; O herb, you are made uniform, so make this uniform.
श्यामा सरूपंकरणी पृथिव्या अध्युद्भृता । इदमू षु प्र साधय पुना रूपाणि कल्पय
The dark one, maker of uniformity, raised from the earth; let her accomplish this, restore the forms anew.
यदग्निरापो अदहत्प्रविश्य यत्राकृण्वन् धर्मधृतो नमांसि । तत्र त आहुः परमं जनित्रं स नः संविद्वान् परि वृङ्ग्धि तक्मन्
Where fire and water entered and burned, where the bearers of law made their obeisance, there they say is the highest origin; may the wise one remove fever from us.

नमः शीताय तक्मने नमो रूराय शोचिषे कृणोमि । यो अन्येद्युरुभयद्युरभ्येति तृतीयकाय नमो अस्तु तक्मने
Homage to the cold fever, homage to the fierce, burning one; I offer reverence. To the fever that comes on alternate days, or every day, or every third day— let there be homage to that fever.
आरेऽसावस्मदस्तु हेतिर्देवासो असत्। आरे अश्मा यमस्यथ
May that weapon be far from us, O gods, let it not exist; may the stone of Yama be far away.
सखासावस्मभ्यमस्तु रातिः सखेन्द्रो भगः । सविता चित्रराधाः
May generosity be a friend to us, may Indra and Bhaga be our friends; may Savitṛ, the giver of splendid gifts, be our friend.

Those three times seven, on the far shore, are without old age; with their vitality, may we cross over the destroyers and the obstacles of decay.
विषूच्येतु कृन्तती पिनाकमिव बिभ्रती । विष्वक्पुनर्भुवा मनोऽसमृद्धा अघायवः
Cutting through, holding the bow like a string, turning in every direction, the unsuccessful, the destroyers, return again.
न बहवः समशकन् नार्भका अभि दाधृषुः । वेणोरद्गा इवाभितोऽसमृद्धा अघायवः
Not many could withstand, nor could the children endure; like reeds scattered all around, the unsuccessful, the destroyers.
प्रेतं पादौ प्र स्फुरतं वहतं पृणतो गृहान् । इन्द्रान्येतु प्रथमाजीतामुषिता पुरः
Go forth, move your feet, carry away, fill the houses; let Indra and the first-conquered, the dwellers in the city, come.
