Mantra 3
Sukta 6
यत् त्वा शिक्वः परावधीत् तक्षा हस्तेन वास्या । आपस्त्वा तस्मज्जीवलाः पुनन्तु शुचयः शुचिम्
yát tvā́ śikváḥ parā́vadhīt tákṣā hástena vā́syā | ā́pas tvā́ tásmāj jīvá-lāḥ punantu śúcayaḥ śúcim ||
What hurt the craftsman dealt thee—what the carpenter with hand and adze—therefrom let the Waters, life-bestowing, cleanse thee, pure ones cleansing thee to purity.
কারিগর যে আঘাত তোমাকে দিয়েছে, ছুতোর যে হাত ও বাস্যা (কুঠার/অ্যাড্জ) দিয়ে আঘাত করেছে—সেখান থেকে জীবনদায়িনী আপঃ (জল) তোমাকে শুদ্ধ করুক; শুচি (পবিত্র) জল তোমাকে পবিত্রতায় শুদ্ধ করুক।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (maṇi-sūkta complex)
Devata: Āpas (Waters) as purifiers; secondarily the Maṇi
