Mantra 4
Sukta 36
शतं वीरानजनयच्छतं यक्ष्मानपावपत्। दुर्णाम्नः सर्वान् हत्वाव रक्षांसि धूनुते
śatáṃ vīrā́n ajanayac chatáṃ yakṣmā́n apā́vapat | durṇā́mnaḥ sárvān hatvā́va rákṣāṃsi dhū́nute ||
A hundred heroes he begat; a hundred wasting-sicknesses he cast away. Having smitten all the ill-named, he shaketh off the Rākṣasas downward and afar.
उसने सौ वीरों को जन्म दिया; सौ क्षय-रोगों (यक्ष्म) को दूर फेंक दिया। ‘दुर्णाम’ (कुख्यात/अशुभ-नाम वाले) सबको मारकर, वह राक्षसों को नीचे और दूर झाड़ देता है।
