Mantra 2
Sukta 141
लोहितेन स्वधितिना मिथुनं कर्णयोः कृधि । अकर्तामश्विना लक्ष्म तदस्तु प्रजया बहु
lóhitena svádhitinā mithunáṃ kárṇayoh kr̥dhí | ákartām aśvínā lákṣma tád astu prajáyā bahú ||
With the red-hued axe make thou a paired mark upon the ears. Let the Aśvins fashion the sign: so be it—abundant in progeny.
ৰক্তবৰ্ণ স্বধিতি (কুঠাৰ) লৈ কাণ দুটাৰ ওপৰত যুগল লক্ষণ কৰি দিয়া। অশ্বিনীদ্বয়ে সেই লক্ষ্ম (চিহ্ন) গঢ়ি তুলক; তেনেই হওক—প্ৰজাৰে বহুল হওক।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Aśvins (divine physicians); secondarily the auspicious ‘lakṣma’ as operative focus
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh
