Agni Purana

देवता पुरुषोऽनुष्टुप्‌छन्दो ज्ञेयञ्च त्रैष्टुभम् । अद्भ्यः सम्भृतं सूक्तमृषिरुत्तरगोनरः ।। २९६.

The deity is Puruṣa; the meter is Anuṣṭubh, and it should be known that the Triṣṭubh is also present. The hymn is composed from the waters; the seer is Uttara Goṇara.

आद्यानान्तिसृणां त्रिष्टुप्‌छन्दोऽनुष्टुब्द्वयोरपि । छन्दस्त्रैष्टुभमन्त्यायाः पुरुषोऽस्यापि देवता ।। २९६.

For the first three, the meter is Triṣṭubh; for the next two, it is also Anuṣṭubh. The final one has the meter Triṣṭubh, and its deity is Puruṣa.

आशुरिन्द्रो द्वादशानां छन्दस्त्रिष्टुबुदाहृतं । ऋषिः प्रोक्तः प्रतिरथः सूक्ते सप्तदशार्च्चके ।। २९६.

Swift Indra is the deity of twelve; the meter is said to be Triṣṭubh. The seer is named Pratiratha for the hymn with seventeen verses.

पृथक्‌पृथक् देवताः स्युः पुरुविदङ्गदेवता । अवशिष्टदैवतेषु छन्दोऽनुष्टुबुदाहृतं ।। २९६.

The deities are distinct for each; the knowledgeable know the respective deities. For the remaining deities, the meter is said to be Anuṣṭubh.

असौ यस्ताम्रो भवतीन्द्रः पुरुलिङ्गोक्तदेवताः । पङ्क्तिच्छन्दोऽथ मर्म्माणि त्वपो लिङ्गोक्तदेवताः ।। २९६.

He who is reddish is Indra, with many forms as stated; the meter is Paṅkti. The vital points are associated with water, with the deities as mentioned.

रौद्राध्याये च सर्व्वस्मिन्नृषिः स्यात् परमेष्ठ्यपि । प्रजापतिर्व्वा देवानां कुत्सस्य तिसृणां पुनः ।। २९६.

In the entire Raudra section, the seer is also Parameṣṭhin; or Prajāpati for the gods, and for three, Kutsa is again the seer.

मनोद्वयोरुमैका स्याद्रुद्रो रुद्राश्च देवताः । आद्योनुवाकोऽथ पूर्व्व एकरुद्राख्यदैवतः ।। २९६.

For the two relating to mind, Umā alone is the deity, and Rudra and the Rudras are also deities. The first anuvāka and the previous one have the deity named Ekarudra.

छन्दो गायत्रमाद्याया अनुष्टुप्‌ तिसृणामृचाम् । तिसृणाञ्च तथा पङ्क्तिरनुष्टुबथ संस्मृतम् ।। २९६.

The meter for the first is Gāyatrī; for three verses, it is Anuṣṭubh. Likewise, for three, it is Paṅkti, and then again Anuṣṭubh is remembered.

द्वयोश्च जगतीछन्दो रुद्राणामप्यशीतयः । हिरण्यबाहवस्तिस्रो नमो वः किरिकाय च ।। २९६.

For two, the meter is Jagatī; for the Rudrāṇīs, there are eighty. 'Golden-armed'—three times; 'Salutations to you,' and also to Kirikā.

पञ्चर्च्चो रुद्रदेवाः स्युर्मन्त्रे रुद्रानुवाकके । विंशके रुद्रदेवास्ताः प्रथमा बृहती स्मृता ।। २९६.

In the five-verse hymn to Rudra, the deities are Rudra; in the mantra called Rudrānuvāka, there are twenty Rudra deities, and the first is known as Bṛhatī.

ऋग्‌द्वितीया त्रिजगती तृतीया त्रिष्टुबेव च । अनुष्टुभो यजुस्तिस्र आर्योभिज्ञः सुसिद्धिभाक् ।। २९६.

The second is in the Ṛg meter, three are in Jagatī, and the third is in Triṣṭubh. Three in Yajus are in Anuṣṭubh; the knower of the noble is successful.

त्रैलोक्यमोहनेनापि विषव्याध्यरिमर्द्दनं । इँ श्रीँ ह्रीँ ह्रैँ हूँ त्रैलोक्यमोहनाय विष्णवे नमः ।। २९६.

By this, which bewilders the three worlds, poisons, diseases, and enemies are destroyed: 'iṃ śrīṃ hrīṃ hraiṃ hūṃ—Salutation to Viṣṇu, the bewilderer of the three worlds.'

ओं हं इँ उग्रवीरं महाविष्णुं ज्वलन्तं सर्वतोमुखं । नृसिंहं भीषणं भद्रं मृत्युमृत्युन्नमाम्यहं ।। २९६.

Om haṃ iṃ—to the fierce hero, the great Viṣṇu, blazing, facing all directions; to Narasiṃha, the terrifying, the auspicious, the death of death—I bow.

अयमेव तु पञ्चाङ्गो मन्त्रः सर्वार्थसाधकः । द्वादशाष्टाक्षरौ मन्त्रौ विषव्याधिविमर्द्दनौ ।। २९६.

This indeed is the five-part mantra, accomplishing all aims. The twelve- and eight-syllabled mantras destroy poison and disease.

कुब्जिका त्रिपुरा गौरी चन्द्रिका विषहारिणी । प्रसादमन्त्रो विषहृदायुरारोग्यवर्द्धनं ।। २९६.

Kubjikā, Tripurā, Gaurī, Candrikā, Viṣahāriṇī—the grace-bestowing mantra removes poison and increases life and health.

सौरो विनायकस्तद्वद्रुद्रमन्त्राः सदाखिलाः ।। २९६.

The Sūrya and Vināyaka mantras are likewise always Rudra mantras in their entirety.

अग्निरुवाच ओं नमो भगवते रुद्राय छिन्द विषं ज्वलितपरशुपाणये च । नमो भगवते पक्षिरुद्राय दष्टकं उत्थापय दष्टकं कम्पय जल्पय सर्प्पदष्टमुत्थापय लल बन्व मोचय वररुद्र गच्छ बध त्रुट वुक भीषय मुष्टिना संहर विषं ठ ठ । पक्षिररुद्रेण ह विषं नाशमायाति मन्त्रणात् ।। ओं नमो भगवते रुदज्र नाशय विषं स्थावरजङ्गमं कृत्रिमाकृत्रिमविषमुपविषं नाशय नानाविषं दष्टकविषं नाशय धम दम वम मेघान्धकारधाराकर्षर्निर्विषयीभव संहर गच्छ आवेशय विषोत्थापनरूपं मन्त्रान्ताद्विषधारणं ओं क्षिप ओं क्षिप स्वाहा । ओं ह्राँ ह्रीँ खीँ सः ठन्द्रौँ ह्रीँ ठः । जपादिना साधितस्तु सर्पान् बध्नाति नित्यशः ।। २९७.

Agni said: Om, obeisance to the blessed Rudra; destroy the poison, O wielder of the blazing axe. Obeisance to the blessed bird-Rudra; raise up the bitten one, shake the bitten one, speak, raise up the one bitten by a serpent, loosen the tongue, release the poison, O excellent Rudra, go, bind, break, frighten, seize with the fist, remove the poison, ṭha ṭha. By the bird-Rudra, indeed, the poison is destroyed by the mantra. Om, obeisance to the blessed Rudra, destroy the poison, whether stationary or moving, artificial or natural, destroy the poison, all kinds of poison, the poison of the bitten, destroy, blow, subdue, vomit, draw away the clouds of darkness, become devoid of poison, remove, go, possess, in the form of raising up from poison, by the mantra at the end, holding the poison—Om, cast out, Om, cast out, svāhā. Om hrāṃ hrīṃ khīṃ saḥ ṭhandrauṃ hrīṃ ṭhaḥ. By reciting this, one always binds serpents.

एकद्वित्रिचतुर्वीजः कृष्णचक्राङ्गपञ्चकः । गोपीजनवल्लभाय स्वाहा सर्वार्थसाधकः ।। २९७.

With one, two, three, or four seeds, with five black-spoked limbs, offered to Gopījanavallabha with svāhā, it accomplishes all aims.

ओं नमो भगवते रुद्राय प्रेताधिपतये गुत्त्व गर्ज्ज भ्रामय मुञ्च मुह्य कट आविश सुवर्णपतङ्ग रुद्रो ज्ञापयति ठ । पातालक्षोभमन्त्रोयं मन्त्रणाद्विषनाशनः । दंशकाहिदंशे सद्यो दष्टः काष्ठशिलादिना ।। २९७.

Om, obeisance to the blessed Rudra, lord of the dead; protect, roar, whirl, release, bewilder, bind, enter, golden-winged Rudra commands, ṭha. This is the mantra for agitating the underworld; by its recitation, poison is destroyed. For the bite of a venomous snake or wood, stone, and the like, when bitten, it acts immediately.

विषशान्त्यै दहेद्दंशं ज्वालकोकनदादिना । शिरीषवीजपुष्पार्कक्षीरवीजकटुत्रयं ।। २९७.

To neutralize poison, burn the bite with a flame, or with kokanada and similar means; use the three—śirīṣa seed, flower, arka, and milk.

विषं विनाशयेत् पानलेपनेनाञ्जनादिना । शिरिषपुष्पस्य रसभावितं मरिचं सितं ।। २९७.

Poison is destroyed by drinking, applying, or anointing with śirīṣa flower juice, black pepper, and sugar, all infused together.

पाननस्याञ्चनाद्यैश्च विषं हन्यान्न संशयः । कोषातकीवचाहिङ्गुशिरीषार्कपयोयुतं ।। २९७.

By drinking, snuffing, or anointing with these, poison is surely destroyed; koṣātakī, vacā, hiṅgu, śirīṣa, arka, and milk combined.

कुटुत्रयं समेषाम्बो हरेन्नस्यादिना विषं । रामठेक्ष्वाकुशर्वाङ्गचूर्णं नस्याद्विषापहं ।। २९७.

The three pungents with water from all these remove poison by nasal application; the powder of rāmaṭha, ikṣvāku, and śarva, used as nasal medicine, dispels poison.

इन्द्रबलाग्निकन्द्रोणं तुलसी देविका सहा । तद्रसाक्तं त्रिकटुकं चूर्णम्भक्ष्यविषापहं ।। २९७.

Indrabalā, agnikand, rohiṇī, tulasī, devikā together, mixed with their juice and trikaṭuka powder, taken as food, remove poison.

पञ्चाङ्गं कृष्णपञ्चम्यां शिरीषस्य विषापहं ।। २९७.

The five parts of śirīṣa, gathered on the black fifth lunar day, remove poison.

अग्निरुवाच गोनसादिचिकित्साञ्च वशिष्ठ श्रृणु वच्मि ते । ह्रीँ ह्रीँ अमलपक्षि स्वाहा २९८.

Agni said: Hear from me, O Vasiṣṭha, the treatment for cow's disease. Hrī hrī, O spotless bird, svāhā.

लशुनं रामठफ्लं कुष्ठाग्निव्योषकं विषे । स्नुहीक्षीरं गव्यघृतं पक्षं पीत्वाऽहिजे विषे ।। २९८.

Garlic, rāmaṭha fruit, kuṣṭha, agni, and vyoṣa for poison; snuhī latex and cow's ghee—let the bird drink this in case of snake poison.

अथ राजिलदष्टे च पेया कृष्णा ससैन्धवा । आज्यक्षौद्रशकृत्तोयं पुरीतत्या विषापहं ।। २९८.

For the bite of a rājila, give a gruel of black gram with rock salt; clarified butter, honey, dung water, and purītatyā together remove poison.

सकृष्णाखण्डदुग्धाज्यं पातव्यन्तेन माक्षिकं । व्योषं पिच्छं विडालास्थि नकुलाङ्गरुहैः समैः ।। २९८.

With black gram, unchurned milk, and ghee, give honey at the end; vyoṣa, bird's feather, cat's bone, and nakula's body parts in equal measure.
