Sukta 30
श॒तं ते॑ दर्भ॒ वर्मा॑णि स॒हस्रं॑ वी॒र्या॑णि ते । तम॒स्मै विश्वे॒ त्वां दे॒वा ज॒रसे॒ भर्त॒वा अ॑दुः
śatáṃ te darbha vármāṇi sahásraṃ vīryā́ṇi te | tám asmaí víśve tvā́ṃ devā́ jarásé bhártave aduḥ ||
A hundred are thy armours, O Darbha; a thousand are thy powers. Thee have all the Gods bestowed for this man to wear, for old age—unto long life.
दर्भा घास के पास सौ कवच हैं और हज़ार ताकतें हैं। सारे देवताओं ने इस आदमी के लिए यह घास दिया है। इस्से पहन के वो बूढ़ा हो, लेकिन उम्र लंबी हो।
