Mantra 10
Sukta 2
ये वध्वश्चन्द्रं वहतुं यक्ष्मा यन्ति जनाँ अनु । पुनस्तान् यज्ञिया देवा नयन्तु यत आगताः
yé vadhváś candráṃ vahatúṃ yakṣmā́ yánti jánāṃ ánu | púnas tā́n yajñíyā devā́ náyantu yátá ā́gatāḥ
What wasting ills, in bridal guise, pursue the shining bridal-bearing, following the folk—those let the sacrifice-worthy Gods lead back again, to the place from which they came.
تلك العِللُ المُنهِكة، التي في هيئةِ الزفاف تُلاحِقُ محملَ العروس اللامع، سائرَةً وراء الناس—فليُعِدْها الآلهةُ المستحقّون للقربان (yajña) إلى الموضع الذي جاءت منه.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (vivāha hymn complex).
Devata: Yajñiya Devāḥ (the worship-receiving gods) as expellers; adversary: Yakṣma.
