Mantra 3
Sukta 42
अभि तिष्ठामि ते मन्युं पार्ष्ण्या प्रपदेन च । यथावशो न वादिषो मम चित्तमुपायसि
abhí tíṣṭhāmi te manyúṃ pārṣṇyā́ prápadena ca | yáthāvaśó ná vā́diṣo máma cittám upā́yasi ||
I set my foot upon thy wrath, with heel and with the fore-step; so shalt thou, powerless, not speak against me, and unto my will thy mind shall draw near.
मैं तेरे क्रोध पर अपनी एड़ी और अग्रपद (पैर के अगले भाग) से पाँव रखता हूँ। जिससे तू विवश होकर मेरे विरुद्ध न बोले, और तेरा मन मेरी इच्छा के निकट आ जाए।
