Sukta 19

ब्रा॒ह्म॒णेन॒ पर्यु॑क्तासि॒ कण्वे॑न नार्ष॒देन॑ । सेने॑वैषि॒ त्विषी॑मती॒ न तत्र॑ भ॒यमस्ति॒ यत्र॑ प्रा॒प्नोष्यो॑षधे

brā́hmaṇena párīuktāsi káṇvena nārṣadéna | sénā́ iveṣi tvíṣīmatī ná tátra bhayám asti yátra prā́pnoṣy óṣadhe ||

By holy spell thou art encompassed—by Kaṇva, by Nārṣada. Like an army thou advancest, full of flashing might: no fear is there where thou attainest, O Herb.

Por el brahmán estás cercada con un conjuro — por Kaṇva, por Nārṣada. Como un ejército avanzas, llena de poder fulgurante: no hay temor allí donde alcanzas, oh Hierba sanadora.
