Mantra 11
Sukta 31
आपर्जन्यस्य वृष्ट्योदस्थामामृता वयम्। व्य१हं सर्वेण पाप्मना वि यक्ष्मेण समायुषा
ā́ párjanyasya vṛ́ṣṭyód asthāmā́mṛtā vayám | vy àháṃ sárveṇa pā́pmanā ví yákṣmeṇa samā́yuṣā ||
By Parjanya’s rain we have risen up—made, as it were, deathless. I drive away, with all malignity, the wasting sickness, and (set us) with a full term of life.
Par la pluie de Parjanya nous nous sommes relevés—comme rendus immortels. Je chasse—avec tout le mal, avec toute la souillure—la maladie dévorante (yakṣmá) et j’établis (nous) dans un plein terme de vie.
Rishi: Atharvanic (variable).
Devata: Parjanya (rain) as renewer; yakṣma as adversary.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh
