Sukta 93
मन॑सा॒ होमै॒र्हर॑सा घृ॒तेन॑ श॒र्वायास्त्र॑ उ॒त राज्ञे॑ भ॒वाय॑ । न॒म॒स्येऽभ्यो॒ नम॑ एभ्यः कृणोम्य॒न्यत्रा॒स्मद॒घवि॑षा नयन्तु
mánasā homáir hárasā ghṛténa śárvāyā́stre utá rā́jñe bhávāya | namasyé’bhyo náma ebhyaḥ kṛṇomy anyátrā́smád agháviṣā nayantu ||
With mind, with oblations, with ardent force, with ghee, to Śarva, to the Weapon, and to the King, to Bhava—unto the reverence-worthy I make obeisance, obeisance unto these: let the evil-venomed bear (their bane) elsewhere, away from us.
मन से, पूजा के साथ, घी डाल के, शर्वा और भव जैसे देवताओं को नमस्ते करते हैं। उनको प्रणाम है। जो भी बुरा है, वो हमसे दूर हो जाए।
