Sukta 13
नम॑स्ते यातु॒धाने॑भ्यो॒ नम॑स्ते भेष॒जेभ्यः॑ । नम॑स्ते मृत्यो॒ मूले॑भ्यो ब्राह्म॒णेभ्य॑ इ॒दं नमः॑
námas te yātudhā́nebhyo námas te bheṣajébhyaḥ | námas te mṛ́tyo mū́lebhyo brāhmaṇébhya idáṃ námaḥ
Obeisance to thee with regard to the yātudhānas; obeisance to thee with regard to the remedies. O Death, obeisance to thee with regard to the roots; to the Brahmans—this obeisance is offered.
Jo log jaadu-tona karte hain, unko namaste. Jo dawaiyan aur ilaj hain, unko bhi namaste. Hey mrityu, jo jaroor baatein hain unko namaste. Brahmin logon ko bhi namaste, yeh namaste unke liye hai.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
