द॒र्शय॑ मा यातु॒धाना॑न् द॒र्शय॑ यातुधा॒न्यः । पि॒शा॒चान्त्सर्वा॑न् दर्श॒येति॒ त्वा र॑भ ओषधे
dárśaya mā yātudhā́nān dárśaya yātudhā́nyàḥ | piśācā́n sárvān darśáyéti tvā́ rabhe oṣadhe ||
Show me the Yātudhānas; show the Yātudhānīs. Show all the Piśācas: thus do I lay hold on thee, O Herb.
أرِني اليَاتُودْهَانَا (Yātudhāna)، وأرِني اليَاتُودْهَانِيّات (Yātudhānī). وأرِني جميعَ البِيشَاتْشَا (Piśāca). هكذا أقبِضُ عليكِ، أيتها الأوشَذِي (Oṣadhi)، أيتها العُشبة.
