Mantra 3
Sukta 115
एकशतं लक्ष्म्यो३मर्त्यस्य साकं तन्वाऽजनुषोऽधि जाताः । तासां पापिष्ठा निरितः प्र हिण्मः शिवा अस्मभ्यं जातवेदो नि यच्छ
ékaśataṃ lakṣmyò martyásya sā́kaṃ tanvā́ janúṣo’dhí jātā́ḥ | tāsā́ṃ pā́piṣṭhā níritáḥ prá hiṇmaḥ śivā́ asmábhyaṃ jātavedo ní yaccha ||
A hundred are the Lakṣmīs of a mortal, born together with the body, from birth, set upon him. The most evil of them, from Nirrti, forth do we drive away; the kindly ones, O Jātavedas, do thou establish fast for us.
مائةٌ هي اللاكشمياتُ للإنسان الفاني؛ وُلِدنَ مع الجسد، منذ الولادة، مُقيماتٍ عليه. فأشدُّهُنَّ شرًّا—الآتيةُ من نيرْرِتي—نطردُها بعيدًا. وأمّا الطيّباتُ المباركات، يا جاتافيداس، فأثبِتهنَّ لنا.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Agni Jātavedas; Nirrti as the source-domain of the expelled portion
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (to be confirmed by syllable count in a critical edition)
