यदि क्षितायुर्यदि वा परेतो यदि मृत्योरन्तिकं नीत एव । तमा हरामि निरृतेरुपस्थादस्पार्षमेनं शतशारदाय
Whether his life is spent or he has departed, or has been brought near to the realm of death, I draw him away from the lap of destruction; let him not touch it, let him live a hundred autumns.
सहस्राक्षेण शतशारदेन शतायुषा हविषाहार्षमेनम् । शतं यथेमं शरदो नयातीन्द्रो विश्वस्य दुरितस्य पारम्
With a thousand-eyed, hundred-autumned, hundred-lived offering, I have taken him; may Indra lead him through a hundred autumns, beyond all misfortune.
शतं जीव शरदो वर्धमानः शतं हेमन्ताञ्छतमु वसन्तान् । शतमिन्द्राग्नी सविता बृहस्पतिः शतायुषा हविषेमं पुनर्दुः
Live a hundred autumns, growing, a hundred winters, a hundred springs; may Indra, Agni, Savitar, and Brihaspati restore him with a hundred years of life.
आहार्षं त्वाविदं त्वा पुनरागाः पुनर्नव । सर्वाङ्ग सर्वं ते चक्षुः सर्वमायुश्च तेऽविदम्
I have taken you, I have recognized you; you have returned, renewed. All your limbs, all your sight, and all your life I have recognized.
ब्रह्मणाग्निः संविदानो रक्षोहा बाधतामितः । अमीवा यस्ते गर्भं दुर्णामा योनिमाशये
May Agni, united with the priestly power, the destroyer of demons, drive away from here the disease that has seized your embryo, the evil one who dwells in the womb.
यस्ते गर्भममीवा दुर्णामा योनिमाशये । अग्निष्टं ब्रह्मणा सह निष्क्रव्यादमनीनशत्
The disease that has seized your embryo, the evil one who dwells in the womb—may Agni, together with the priestly power, drive it out, the devourer of flesh, the devourer of the living.
यस्ते हन्ति पतयन्तं निषत्स्नुं यः सरीसृपम् । जातं यस्ते जिघांसति तमितो नाशयामसि
Whoever harms you, whether flying, sitting, or crawling, whoever is born and seeks to harm you, from here we destroy him.
यस्त ऊरू विहरत्यन्तरा दम्पती शये । योनिं यो अन्तरारेळ्हि तमितो नाशयामसि
Whoever moves between your thighs, who lies between husband and wife, whoever enters the womb, from here we destroy him.
यस्त्वा भ्राता पतिर्भूत्वा जारो भूत्वा निपद्यते । प्रजां यस्ते जिघांसति तमितो नाशयामसि
Whoever, being your brother, becomes your husband or lover and lies with you, whoever seeks to harm your offspring, from here we destroy him.
यस्त्वा स्वप्नेन तमसा मोहयित्वा निपद्यते । प्रजां यस्ते जिघांसति तमितो नाशयामसि
Whoever, having deluded you with sleep and darkness, lies down, whoever seeks to harm your offspring—him, from here, we destroy.
अक्षीभ्यां ते नासिकाभ्यां कर्णाभ्यां छुबुकादधि । यक्ष्मं शीर्षण्यं मस्तिष्काज्जिह्वाया वि वृहामि ते
From your eyes, your nostrils, your ears, from beneath your chin, I remove the disease from your head, from your brain, and from your tongue.
ग्रीवाभ्यस्त उष्णिहाभ्यः कीकसाभ्यो अनूक्यात् । यक्ष्मं दोषण्यमंसाभ्यां बाहुभ्यां वि वृहामि ते
From your neck, from your headbands, from your coughs, from your throat, I remove the disease from your shoulders, from your flesh, and from your arms.

From your entrails, from your rectum, from your anus, from your heart, I remove the disease from your fat, from your liver, and from your spleen.

From your thighs, from your bones, from your heels, from the soles of your feet, I remove the disease from your hips, from your shining parts, and from your buttocks.
मेहनाद्वनंकरणाल्लोमभ्यस्ते नखेभ्यः । यक्ष्मं सर्वस्मादात्मनस्तमिदं वि वृहामि ते
From your genitals, from your organs, from your hair, from your nails, I remove this disease from your entire self.
अङ्गादङ्गाल्लोम्नोलोम्नो जातं पर्वणिपर्वणि । यक्ष्मं सर्वस्मादात्मनस्तमिदं वि वृहामि ते
From every limb, from every hair, born in every joint, I remove this disease from your entire self.
अपेहि मनसस्पतेऽप क्राम परश्चर । परो निरृत्या आ चक्ष्व बहुधा जीवतो मनः
Depart, O Lord of Mind, go away, move elsewhere; show yourself far from misfortune, let the mind of the living be manifold.
भद्रं वै वरं वृणते भद्रं युञ्जन्ति दक्षिणम् । भद्रं वैवस्वते चक्षुर्बहुत्रा जीवतो मनः
Indeed, they choose what is auspicious, they employ the right hand for good; may the eye of Vaivasvata be auspicious, may the mind of the living be manifold in many ways.
यदाशसा निःशसाभिशसोपारिम जाग्रतो यत्स्वपन्तः । अग्निर्विश्वान्यप दुष्कृतान्यजुष्टान्यारे अस्मद्दधातु
Whatever by desire, by exhalation, by curses, or by waking or sleeping we have done—may Agni remove all those evil deeds, those displeasing acts, far from us.
यदिन्द्र ब्रह्मणस्पतेऽभिद्रोहं चरामसि । प्रचेता न आङ्गिरसो द्विषतां पात्वंहसः
O Indra, Lord of Speech, whatever offense we commit, may the wise Angirases protect us from the sins of our enemies.
अजैष्माद्यासनाम चाभूमानागसो वयम् । जाग्रत्स्वप्नः संकल्पः पापो यं द्विष्मस्तं स ऋच्छतु यो नो द्वेष्टि तमृच्छतु
We have conquered, we have sat, we have become free from guilt; whether waking, dreaming, or intending evil—may that which we hate go away, and whoever hates us, may he go away.
देवाः कपोत इषितो यदिच्छन्दूतो निरृत्या इदमाजगाम । तस्मा अर्चाम कृणवाम निष्कृतिं शं नो अस्तु द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे
If the gods, impelled by the dove, or sent by Nirṛti, have brought this here, for that we offer praise and make atonement; may there be well-being for our bipeds and quadrupeds.
शिवः कपोत इषितो नो अस्त्वनागा देवाः शकुनो गृहेषु । अग्निर्हि विप्रो जुषतां हविर्नः परि हेतिः पक्षिणी नो वृणक्तु
May the dove, sent by the gods, be auspicious for us; may the divine bird not bring harm to our homes. May Agni, the priest, accept our offering; may the winged missile not choose us.
हेतिः पक्षिणी न दभात्यस्मानाष्ट्र्यां पदं कृणुते अग्निधाने । शं नो गोभ्यश्च पुरुषेभ्यश्चास्तु मा नो हिंसीदिह देवाः कपोतः
The winged missile does not harm us; it makes its place in the hearth. May there be well-being for our cows and for our people; may the divine dove not injure us here.
यदुलूको वदति मोघमेतद्यत्कपोतः पदमग्नौ कृणोति । यस्य दूतः प्रहित एष एतत्तस्मै यमाय नमो अस्तु मृत्यवे
What the owl utters is in vain; what the dove marks in the fire is in vain. To whom this messenger is sent, to him, to Yama, to Death, let there be homage.
ऋचा कपोतं नुदत प्रणोदमिषं मदन्तः परि गां नयध्वम् । संयोपयन्तो दुरितानि विश्वा हित्वा न ऊर्जं प्र पतात्पतिष्ठः
With a hymn, drive away the dove; I urge it on—rejoicing, lead the cattle around. Uniting, leave behind all evils, and fly forth toward strength and stability.
ऋषभं मा समानानां सपत्नानां विषासहिम् । हन्तारं शत्रूणां कृधि विराजं गोपतिं गवाम्
Make me a bull among my peers, victorious over rivals, a slayer of enemies, illustrious, a lord of cattle and cows.
अहमस्मि सपत्नहेन्द्र इवारिष्टो अक्षतः । अधः सपत्ना मे पदोरिमे सर्वे अभिष्ठिताः
I am unassailable, unharmed, like Indra among rivals; beneath my feet all my adversaries are pressed down.
अत्रैव वोऽपि नह्याम्युभे आर्त्नी इव ज्यया । वाचस्पते नि षेधेमान्यथा मदधरं वदान्
Here and now I bind you both, as a bowstring binds the bow; O Lord of Speech, silence them, so they may speak no word against me.
अभिभूरहमागमं विश्वकर्मेण धाम्ना । आ वश्चित्तमा वो व्रतमा वोऽहं समितिं ददे
I have come forth victorious, by the power of the All-Creator; I have seized your resolve, your vow, your assembly.
