Sukta 44
रु॒द्रस्य॒ मूत्र॑मस्य॒मृत॑स्य॒ नाभिः॑ । वि॒षा॒ण॒का नाम॒ वा अ॑सि पितॄ॒णां मूला॒दुत्थि॑ता वातीकृत॒नाश॑नी
rudrásya mū́tram asi amṛ́tasya nā́bhiḥ | viṣāṇakā́ nā́ma vā́ asi pitṝṇā́ṃ mū́lād utthitā vātī́kṛta-nā́śanī ||
Thou art Rudra’s urine, the navel of ambrosia. ‘Viṣāṇakā’ indeed is thy name—sprung from the root of the Fathers—a destroyer of disorders wrought by Wind.
तू रुद्र का पेशाब है, अमृत की जड़ है। तेरा नाम विषणका है, पुरखे लोगों की जड़ से निकली है, हवा की वजह से होने वाली बिमारी को खत्म करती है।
