Sukta 36
शतवारो मणिः। शतवारो अनीनशद् यक्ष्मान् रक्षांसि तेजसा । आरोहन् वर्चसा सह मणिर्दुर्णामचातनः
śatá-vāro maṇíḥ | śatá-vāro anīnaśad yákṣmān rákṣāṃsi téjasā | āróhan várcasā sahá maṇír durṇā́m acātanaḥ
The hundredfold Amulet: the hundredfold hath, with fiery might, driven off consumptions and the demons. Mounting with splendour, the Amulet hath chased away ill-name.
शतवार मणि—यह शतवार, तेजस्वी शक्ति से यक्ष्मा (क्षय-रोग) और रक्षांसि (दुष्ट-भूत) को दूर भगाता है। वह वर्चस् (दीप्ति) के साथ आरोहण करके, दुर्नाम (अपयश/कुख्याति) को भी नष्ट कर देता है।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (maṇi-hymn corpus)
Devata: Maṇi (amulet) personified; allied with Tejas/Varcas as powers
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant cadence)
