Sukta 2
यद॒श्नासि॒ यत् पिब॑सि धा॒न्यंऽ कृ॒ष्याः पयः॑ । यदा॒द्यं॒१ यद॑ना॒द्यं सर्वं॑ ते॒ अन्न॑मवि॒षं कृ॑णोमि
yád aśnā́si yát píbasi dhā́nyaṃ kṛṣyā́ḥ páyaḥ | yád ā́dyaṃ yád anā́dyaṃ sárvaṃ te ánnam avíṣaṃ kṛṇomi ||
What thou eatest and what thou drinkest—grain of the tilth, and milk—whether it be fit for eating or unfit, all thy food I render free from poison.
Was du isst und was du trinkst – Korn vom Acker und Milch –, ob essbar oder nicht essbar: all deine Speise mache ich giftfrei.
