Sukta 6
पञ्च॑ रा॒ज्यानि॑ वी॒रुधां॒ सोम॑श्रेष्ठानि ब्रूमः । द॒र्भो भङ्गो यवः॒ सह॒स्ते नो॑ मुञ्च॒न्त्वंह॑सः
páñca rājyā́ni vīrudhā́ṃ sómaśreṣṭhāni brū́maḥ | darbho bhaṅgó yávaḥ sáha té no muñcántv áṃhasaḥ ||
Five sovereignties of plants we name, most excellent, Soma-best. Darbha, Bhaṅga, Barley together—let these for us unloose from anguish and from sin.
पाँच पेड़ों की बात करते हैं जो बड़े हैं, सोम रस देते हैं। दर्भा घास, भांग, और जौ, यह तीनों मिल के हमें दुख और पाप से छुटकारा दिलाएं।
