कश्यपस्त्वामसृजत कश्यपस्त्वा समैरयत्। अबिभस्त्वेन्द्रो मानुषे बिभ्रत् संश्रेषिणेऽजयत्। मणिं सहस्रवीर्यं वर्म देवा अकृण्वत
kaśyápas tvā́m asṛjata kaśyápas tvā sám airayat | abíbhas tvéndro mā́nuṣe bíbhrat saṁśréṣiṇe ’jayat | maṇíṁ sahásra-vīryaṁ várma devā́ akṛṇvata ||
Kaśyapa created thee; Kaśyapa wholly set thee in motion. Indra bore thee among men, and, bearing, conquered the close-clinging foe. The gods made the amulet, of thousandfold might, a coat of mail.
Kaśyapa menciptakan engkau; Kaśyapa menggerakkan engkau sepenuhnya. Indra memikul engkau di antara manusia, dan sambil memikulnya ia menaklukkan musuh yang melekat rapat. Para dewa menjadikan mani (jimat) ini—berdaya seribu kali—sebagai baju zirah.
Rishi: Kāśyapa
Devata: Maṇi as Varman; Indra as exemplar of efficacy
Chandas: Mixed/expanded Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (tri-pāda narrative with concluding pāda); treated as Anuṣṭubh in many practical listings
