उत स्म सद्म हर्यतस्य पस्त्योरत्यो न वाजं हरिवाँ अचिक्रदत् । मही चिद्धि धिषणाहर्यदोजसा बृहद्वयो दधिषे हर्यतश्चिदा
And indeed, in the house of the exhilarating one, the stallion neighed for the prize, like a racer. The great, nourishing, exhilarating one, with strength, has established a mighty power, even among the exhilarating.
आ रोदसी हर्यमाणो महित्वा नव्यंनव्यं हर्यसि मन्म नु प्रियम् । प्र पस्त्यमसुर हर्यतं गोराविष्कृधि हरये सूर्याय
Across heaven and earth, you are being exalted in greatness; ever anew, you delight in this, my dear hymn. O lord, reveal the exhilarating dwelling of the cow for the worshipper, for the sun.
आ त्वा हर्यन्तं प्रयुजो जनानां रथे वहन्तु हरिशिप्रमिन्द्र । पिबा यथा प्रतिभृतस्य मध्वो हर्यन्यज्ञं सधमादे दशोणिम्
Let the horses of the people, yoked, bring you here, O Indra of the tawny mane, to the chariot. Drink as you desire of the offered mead, O exhilarating one, accept the sacrifice with the ten priests in the assembly.
अपाः पूर्वेषां हरिवः सुतानामथो इदं सवनं केवलं ते । ममद्धि सोमं मधुमन्तमिन्द्र सत्रा वृषञ्जठर आ वृषस्व
Of the earlier pressed Somas, O exhilarating one, and now, this pressing is solely for you. Drink the honeyed Soma, O Indra, with strength; let the mighty one pour it into your belly all at once.
या ओषधीः पूर्वा जाता देवेभ्यस्त्रियुगं पुरा । मनै नु बभ्रूणामहं शतं धामानि सप्त च
Those plants that were born long ago, three ages before the gods— I now declare their hundreds and their seven abodes.
शतं वो अम्ब धामानि सहस्रमुत वो रुहः । अधा शतक्रत्वो यूयमिमं मे अगदं कृत
A hundred are your abodes, O mothers, and a thousand are your forms. Therefore, O hundred-powered ones, make this man of mine free from disease.
ओषधीः प्रति मोदध्वं पुष्पवतीः प्रसूवरीः । अश्वा इव सजित्वरीर्वीरुधः पारयिष्ण्वः
Rejoice, O plants, rich in flowers, bearing fruit; like swift horses, may the healing herbs carry us across.
ओषधीरिति मातरस्तद्वो देवीरुप ब्रुवे । सनेयमश्वं गां वास आत्मानं तव पूरुष
O plants, thus I address you, O goddesses, as mothers: may I gain a horse, a cow, clothing, and your spirit, O man.
अश्वत्थे वो निषदनं पर्णे वो वसतिष्कृता । गोभाज इत्किलासथ यत्सनवथ पूरुषम्
Your seat is under the ashvattha tree, your dwelling is made in the leaf. It is said you are born from the cow when you bring forth a man.
यत्रौषधीः समग्मत राजानः समिताविव । विप्रः स उच्यते भिषग्रक्षोहामीवचातनः
Where the plants have gathered, like kings in assembly, the sage is called the healer, the guardian who drives away disease.
अश्वावतीं सोमावतीमूर्जयन्तीमुदोजसम् । आवित्सि सर्वा ओषधीरस्मा अरिष्टतातये
May all the plants, possessing horses, possessing Soma, bestowing strength and vigor, come to us for complete protection.
उच्छुष्मा ओषधीनां गावो गोष्ठादिवेरते । धनं सनिष्यन्तीनामात्मानं तव पूरुष
The potent energy of the plants is kept, like cows in a pen; they grant wealth to those who seek it, and your spirit, O man.
इष्कृतिर्नाम वो माताथो यूयं स्थ निष्कृतीः । सीराः पतत्रिणी स्थन यदामयति निष्कृथ
Iṣkṛtir is your mother’s name, and you are the Iṣkṛtis; you are the sinews, the winged ones, when you drive away disease.
अति विश्वाः परिष्ठा स्तेन इव व्रजमक्रमुः । ओषधीः प्राचुच्यवुर्यत्किं च तन्वो रपः
You have passed over all obstacles, as a thief leaps over a pen; the plants have shaken off whatever defilement was on the body.
यदिमा वाजयन्नहमोषधीर्हस्त आदधे । आत्मा यक्ष्मस्य नश्यति पुरा जीवगृभो यथा
When, desiring strength, I take these plants in my hand, the spirit of sickness departs, as the snare of life is loosened.
यस्यौषधीः प्रसर्पथाङ्गमङ्गं परुष्परुः । ततो यक्ष्मं वि बाधध्व उग्रो मध्यमशीरिव
Wherever you plants spread, limb by limb, joint by joint, from there drive away disease, like a fierce middle-fingered one.
साकं यक्ष्म प्र पत चाषेण किकिदीविना । साकं वातस्य ध्राज्या साकं नश्य निहाकया
Depart together with disease, with the screeching owl; depart with the wind’s blast, perish with the departing darkness.
अन्या वो अन्यामवत्वन्यान्यस्या उपावत । ताः सर्वाः संविदाना इदं मे प्रावता वचः
Let one of you follow another, and another follow yet another; all of you, being united, grant me this utterance.
याः फलिनीर्या अफला अपुष्पा याश्च पुष्पिणीः । बृहस्पतिप्रसूतास्ता नो मुञ्चन्त्वंहसः
Those that bear fruit, those that do not, those without flowers, and those with blossoms—born of Brihaspati—may they release us from affliction.
मुञ्चन्तु मा शपथ्यादथो वरुण्यादुत । अथो यमस्य पड्बीशात्सर्वस्माद्देवकिल्बिषात्
May they free me from curse, and also from Varuna’s wrath, and from Yama’s fetters, from every divine transgression.
अवपतन्तीरवदन्दिव ओषधयस्परि । यं जीवमश्नवामहै न स रिष्याति पूरुषः
The herbs that fall and those that do not, O plants, upon the earth and in the sky—whomever we feed with them, that person does not perish.
या ओषधीः सोमराज्ञीर्बह्वीः शतविचक्षणाः । तासां त्वमस्युत्तमारं कामाय शं हृदे
Those herbs, ruled by Soma, abundant and wise in hundreds—among them, you are the highest; grant favorable desire and joy to the heart.
या ओषधीः सोमराज्ञीर्विष्ठिताः पृथिवीमनु । बृहस्पतिप्रसूता अस्यै सं दत्त वीर्यम्
Those herbs, ruled by Soma, established upon the earth, born of Brihaspati—give their strength to this one.
मा वो रिषत्खनिता यस्मै चाहं खनामि वः । द्विपच्चतुष्पदस्माकं सर्वमस्त्वनातुरम्
Let none of you be harmed by the digging, for whom I dig you up; for all bipeds and quadrupeds among us, let all be free from illness.
याश्चेदमुपशृण्वन्ति याश्च दूरं परागताः । सर्वाः संगत्य वीरुधोऽस्यै सं दत्त वीर्यम्
Those that hear this nearby, and those that have gone far away—all the herbs, gathering together, give their strength to this one.
ओषधयः सं वदन्ते सोमेन सह राज्ञा । यस्मै कृणोति ब्राह्मणस्तं राजन्पारयामसि
The herbs speak together with Soma the king; for whom the Brahman does this, O king, we deliver him.
(तु. ब्रह्मपुराणम् [[ब्रह्मपुराणम्/अध्यायः १२०|२.५०.१४]]) त्वमुत्तमास्योषधे तव वृक्षा उपस्तयः । उपस्तिरस्तु सोऽस्माकं यो अस्माँ अभिदासति
You are the highest among the herbs; your roots are the foundation. Let that foundation be ours, against whoever assails us.
बृहस्पते प्रति मे देवतामिहि मित्रो वा यद्वरुणो वासि पूषा । आदित्यैर्वा यद्वसुभिर्मरुत्वान्स पर्जन्यं शंतनवे वृषाय
O Brihaspati, come to me with divinity—whether you are Mitra, Varuna, or Pushan, or with the Adityas, Vasus, Maruts; let Parjanya bring blessing for the offspring.
आ देवो दूतो अजिरश्चिकित्वान्त्वद्देवापे अभि मामगच्छत् । प्रतीचीनः प्रति मामा ववृत्स्व दधामि ते द्युमतीं वाचमासन्
May the swift, wise divine messenger come to me from the gods; turn toward me, favor me, I offer you radiant speech as a seat.
अस्मे धेहि द्युमतीं वाचमासन्बृहस्पते अनमीवामिषिराम् । यया वृष्टिं शंतनवे वनाव दिवो द्रप्सो मधुमाँ आ विवेश
Place radiant speech in us, Brihaspati, free from disease and nourishing; by which we may obtain rain for the offspring, as the honeyed drop from heaven enters.
