Mantra 3

Sukta 34

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

अरसं कृत्रिमं नादमरसाः सप्त विस्रसः । अपेतो जङ्गिडामतिमिषुमस्तेव शातय

IAST Transliteration

arásaṁ kṛtrímaṁ nā́dam arasā́ḥ saptá vísrasaḥ | apéto jaṅgiḍā́d atimíṣuṁ ásteva śātaya ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Sapless be the fabricated roar; sapless, sevenfold, let them fall asunder. Driven off by Jaṅgiḍa—shatter the over-mastering missile, as one would a weapon.

Translation

কৃত্রিম গর্জন অরস (রসহীন) হোক; সাতভাবে অরস হয়ে তারা ভেঙে পড়ুক, ছিন্নভিন্ন হোক। জঙ্গিড়া দ্বারা অপসারিত হয়ে—অতিমিষু (অতিশয় বশীকরণকারী) ক্ষেপণাস্ত্রকে, যেমন অস্ত্র ভাঙা হয়, তেমন চূর্ণ কর।
