Sukta 31
यां ते॑ च॒क्रुः स॒भायां॒ यां च॒क्रुर॑धि॒देव॑ने । अ॒क्षेषु॑ कृ॒त्यां यां च॒क्रुः पुनः॒ प्रति॑ हरामि॒ ताम्
yā́m te cakrúḥ sabhā́yāṃ yā́m cakrúradhi-deváne | akṣéṣu kṛtyā́m yā́m cakrúḥ púnaḥ práti harāmi tā́m ||
What witchcraft they have wrought against thee in the assembly, what they have wrought at the gaming-place; what kṛtyā they have made in the dice—that same I bear back again in return.
लोगों ने सभा में तुम्हारे ऊपर जादू किया है। खेल के जगह पे भी कुछ किया है। पासा खेलने वाले लोगों ने भी तुम्हारे लिए बुरा किया है। मैं अब उस सब को वापस भेज देता हूँ जो उन्होंने तुमपे किया।
