Mantra 11
Sukta 9
आ गृह्णीतं सं बृहतं प्रानापानान् न्यर्बुदे । निवाशा घोषाः सं यन्त्वमित्रेषु समीक्षयन् रदिते अर्बुदे तव
ā́ gṛhṇītaṃ sáṃ bṛhataṃ prāṇāpānā́n ny àrbude | nivāśā́ ghóṣāḥ sáṃ yantv amítreṣu samīkṣáyan radité arbúde táva ||
Seize ye, press ye wholly down the in-breath and out-breath—O Arbuda. Let abodes and clamours gather and move upon the enemies, as they look about—O Raditā, O Arbuda—under thy power.
हे अर्बुद! प्राण और अपान को पकड़ो, उन्हें पूरी तरह दबा दो। निवास-स्थल और घोष (कोलाहल) शत्रुओं पर एकत्र होकर टूट पड़ें, जब वे इधर-उधर देखते फिरें—हे रदिता, हे अर्बुद—तेरे वश में।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (unspecified here).
