Sukta 42
पापमोचनम्। सोमा॑रुद्रा॒ वि वृ॑हतं॒ विषू॑ची॒ममी॑ वा॒ या नो॒ गय॑मावि॒वेश॑ । बाधे॑थां दू॒रं निरृ॑तिं परा॒चैः कृ॒तं चि॒देनः॒ प्र मु॑मुक्तम॒स्मत्
sómārudrā ví vṛhatam viṣū́cīm amī́ṃ vā yā́ no gáyam āvivéśa | bā́dhethāṃ dūráṃ nírṛtiṃ parācaíḥ kṛtáṃ cid énaḥ prá mumuktam asmát
O Soma and Rudra, drive ye apart the straying evil—or the sickness—which hath entered our life and home. Smite ye away, far off, Destruction backward; and even the sin that is done, from us set free.
यह पाप दूर करने वाला मंत्र है। सोम और रुद्र से दुआ है कि वो बुरी चीज़ को भगा दे, या जो बीमारी हमारे घर में घुस गई है उसे निकाले। वो दूर से आने वाली बर्बादी को पीछे भगा दे। और जो पाप हमने किया है, उस्से हमें आज़ाद कर दे।
