Sukta 35
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (amulet-hymn corpus; specific ṛṣi not securely fixed for this verse alone)
Devata: Jāṅgiḍa (personified amulet/plant) as protector; implicitly the quarters and cosmic regions
Chandas: Mixed/Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (late Atharvanic style; not strictly regular)
Ye mantra ek raksha kavach hai jo Jangida ko jagah ke rehta hai. Devta aur rishi log pehle isko use karte the, Indra ki shakti se. Ab ye tumhare ghar ya patient ke charon taraf ek chowkidaar ban jata hai. Aasman, dharti, beech ka space, ped-paudhe sab isme cover ho jate hain. Har disha se, har taraf se suraksha hoti hai. Buri nazar aur dushman taakat tod di jati hai. Ye ek full proof security system ki tarah hai jo tumhe gher leta hai.
Mantras
Mantra 1
जङ्गिडः। इन्द्र॑स्य॒ नाम॑ गृ॒ह्णन्त॒ ऋस॑यो जङ्गि॒डं द॑दुः । दे॒वा यं च॒क्रुर्भे॑ष॒जमग्रे॑ विष्कन्ध॒दूष॑णम्
Jangida naam ki cheez hai. Rishiyon ne Indra ka naam leke isko diya. Devataon ne isko pehle hi dawa bana diya tha. Yeh Vishkandha naam ke buri cheez ko khatam karti hai.
Mantra 2
स नो॑ रक्षतु जङ्गि॒डो ध॑नपा॒लो धने॑व । दे॒वा यं च॒क्रुर्ब्रा॑ह्म॒णाः प॑रि॒पाण॑मराति॒हम्
Jangida humari raksha kare. Yeh dhan ki raksha karta hai, jaise koi khazana bachata hai. Devataon ne isko banaya aur brahmanon ne isko aisa banaya jo dushmani mitata hai.
Mantra 3
दु॒र्हार्दः॒ संघो॑रं॒ चक्षुः॑ पाप॒कृत्वा॑न॒माग॑मम्। तांस्त्वं स॑हस्रचक्षो प्रतीबो॒धेन॑ नाशय परि॒पाणो॑ऽसि जङ्गि॒डः
Bhagwan Jangida, tumhare hazaron nazar hain. Koi buri nazar aaye, koi bada khatra ho, woh sab tum saaf kar do. Tum jagte rehte ho aur hume bachate ho. Tumhare paas woh taakat hai jo buraai ko mita de.
Mantra 4
परि॑ मा दि॒वः परि॑ मा पृथि॒व्याः पर्य॒न्तरि॑क्षा॒त् परि॑ मा वी॒रुद्भ्यः॑ । परि॑ मा भू॒तात् परि॑ मो॒त भव्या॑द् दि॒शोदि॑शो जङ्गि॒डः पा॑त्व॒स्मान्
Mujhe aasmaan se bhi bacha, zameen se bhi. Hawa se bhi, ped-paudhon se bhi. Jaanwaron se bhi, aur jo bhi aane wala hai usse bhi. Har taraf se Jangida humari raksha kare.
Mantra 5
य ऋ॒ष्णवो॑ दे॒वकृ॑ता॒ य उ॒तो व॑वृ॒तेऽन्यः । सर्वां॒स्तान् वि॒श्वभे॑षजोऽर॒सां ज॑ङ्गि॒डस्क॑रत्
Bhagwan ne jo bhi buri cheezein banaayi hain, ya jo aur bhi nikal aayi hain, Jangida un sab ko bekaar kar deta hai. Yeh sabse acchi dawai hai, sab bimariyon ko khatam kar deta hai.
Frequently Asked Questions
Jāṅgiḍa is treated as a medicinal plant-power and also as an amulet (paripāṇa). The hymn personifies it as a vigilant protector that can be tied on or placed to guard a person or home.
It is aimed at removing hostile influences such as viṣkandha-type affliction and the ‘evil eye’ (harmful gaze/attention). It also functions preventively by building an all-around protective enclosure across realms and directions.
The protection is ‘round about’—from heaven, earth, mid-air, plants, beings, and even what is yet to come—then sealed from every quarter (diśo-diśaḥ). This creates the sense of a complete boundary with no opening for harm.
