Sukta 40
ये॒३धस्ता॒ज्जुह्व॑ति जातवेदो ध्रु॒वाया॑ दि॒शोऽभिदास॑न्त्य॒स्मान्। भूमि॑मृ॒त्वा ते परा॑ञ्चो व्यथन्तां प्र॒त्यगे॑नान् प्रतिस॒रेण॑ हन्मि
yé adhástāj juhváti jātávedo dhrúvāyā diśó ’bhidā́santy asmā́n | bhū́mim ṛtvā́ té parā́ñco vyathantāṃ pratyagé́nān pratisaréṇa hanmi
Whoso from beneath maketh offering, O Jātavedas,—the steadfast regions assail us: taking Earth for the effective stay, let them, turned away, be shaken; with the returning counter-force, with the Pratisara, I smite them down.
अगर कोई नीचे से हवन करे, जातवेद, तो स्थिर दिशा वाले हम पर अटैक करते हैं। मैं धरती का सहारा लेकर उन्हे पीछे भगा देता हूँ। वापस वाली ताकत से, प्रतिसर मंत्र से, मैं उन्हे मार देता हूँ।
