Sukta 34

Mantra 1

जङ्गिडमणिः। जाङ्गिडोऽसि जङ्गिडो रक्षितासि जङ्गिडः । द्विपाच्चतुष्पादस्माकं सर्वं रक्षतु जङ्गिडः

The Jaṅgiḍa-amulet: Jaṅgiḍa thou art; Jaṅgiḍa thou art, a protector—Jaṅgiḍa. Let Jaṅgiḍa guard all that is ours, both two-footed and four-footed.

Mantra 2

या गृत्स्यस्त्रिपञ्चाशीः शतं कृत्याकृतश्च ये। सर्वान् विनक्तु तेजसोऽरसां जङ्गिडस्करत्

What greedy ones there be—fifty and three—and a hundred, and those who make the kṛtyā: let Jaṅgiḍa, by its fiery might, pick them all apart, and make them sapless, void of power.

Mantra 3

अरसं कृत्रिमं नादमरसाः सप्त विस्रसः । अपेतो जङ्गिडामतिमिषुमस्तेव शातय

Sapless be the fabricated roar; sapless, sevenfold, let them fall asunder. Driven off by Jaṅgiḍa—shatter the over-mastering missile, as one would a weapon.

Mantra 4

कृत्यादूषण एवायमथो अरातिदूषणः । अथो सहस्वां जङ्गिडः प्र ण आयूंषि तारिषत्

A defiler of witchcraft is this in very deed, and likewise a defiler of hostile malice. Yea, the mighty Jāṅgiḍa—may it bear our lives safely forth.

Mantra 5

स जङ्गिडस्य महिमा परि णः पातु विश्वतः । विष्कन्धं येन सासह संस्कन्धमोज ओजसा

May the majesty of Jāṅgiḍa guard us round about from every side—wherewith it overcame Viṣkandha, and Saṃskandha by might, by very strength.

Mantra 6

त्रिष्ट्वा देवा अजनयन् निष्ठितं भूम्यामधि । तमु त्वाङ्गिरा इति ब्राह्मणाः पूर्व्या विदुः

Thrice did the Gods beget thee, set firm upon the earth. The ancient Brahmans, verily, have known thee as ‘Angiras’.

Mantra 7

न त्वा पूर्वा ओषधयो न त्वा तरन्ति या नवाः । विबाध उग्रो जङ्गिडः परिपाणः सुमङ्गलः

No herbs of old surpass thee, nor those which now are new. A fierce repeller is Jāṅgiḍa, a guardian, most auspicious.

Mantra 8

अथोपदान भगवो जाङ्गिडामितवीर्य । पुरा त उग्रा ग्रसत उपेन्द्रो वीर्यं ददौ

And further, O bestower, O blessed Jāṅgiḍa of unmeasured might: of old, when the fierce ones would devour thee, Upendra gave thee strength.

Mantra 9

उग्र इत् ते वनस्पत इन्द्र ओज्मानमादधौ । अमीवाः सर्वाश्चातयं जहि रक्षांस्योषधे

Fierce verily art thou, O Lord of the Wood: Indra hath set within thee strength. Smite thou away all maladies, and the wasting fiend; slay, O Herb, the Rākṣasas.

Mantra 10

आशरीकं विशरीकं बलासं पृष्ट्यामयम्। तक्मानं विश्वशारदमरसां जङ्गिडस्करत्

Āśarīka and Viśarīka, Balāsa, and the malady of the back; fever that returns through all the seasons, and the sapless wasting—these hath Jāṅgiḍa made (to cease).
