Sukta 20
द॒र्शय॑ मा यातु॒धाना॑न् द॒र्शय॑ यातुधा॒न्यः । पि॒शा॒चान्त्सर्वा॑न् दर्श॒येति॒ त्वा र॑भ ओषधे
dárśaya mā yātudhā́nān dárśaya yātudhā́nyàḥ | piśācā́n sárvān darśáyéti tvā́ rabhe oṣadhe ||
Show me the Yātudhānas; show the Yātudhānīs. Show all the Piśācas: thus do I lay hold on thee, O Herb.
मुझे यातुधन दिखाओ, यातुधनी भी दिखाओ। सारे पिशाच दिखाओ। मैं इस जड़ी-बूटी को पकड़ लेता हूँ। यह मुझे इन सब बुरी आत्मों को दिखाएगी।
