Sukta 36

Mantra 1

शतवारो मणिः। शतवारो अनीनशद् यक्ष्मान् रक्षांसि तेजसा । आरोहन् वर्चसा सह मणिर्दुर्णामचातनः

The hundredfold Amulet: the hundredfold hath, with fiery might, driven off consumptions and the demons. Mounting with splendour, the Amulet hath chased away ill-name.

Mantra 2

शॄङ्गाभ्यां रक्षो नुदते मूलेन यातुधान्यः । मध्येन यक्ष्मं बाधते नैनं पाप्माति तत्रति

With its two horns it thrusts away the demon; with its root the witch. With its middle it checks consumption: no evil thing dares pass unto him.

Mantra 3

ये यक्ष्मासो अर्भका महान्तो ये च शब्दिनः । सर्वान् दुर्णामहा मणिः शतवारो अनीनशत्

The consumptions, be they small or great, and those that are clamorous with sound—of all these the hundredfold Amulet, the slayer of ill-name, hath driven them away.

Mantra 4

शतं वीरानजनयच्छतं यक्ष्मानपावपत्। दुर्णाम्नः सर्वान् हत्वाव रक्षांसि धूनुते

A hundred heroes he begat; a hundred wasting-sicknesses he cast away. Having smitten all the ill-named, he shaketh off the Rākṣasas downward and afar.

Mantra 5

हिरण्यशृङ्ग ऋषभः शातवारो अयं मणिः । दुर्णाम्नः सर्वांस्तृड्ढ्वाव रक्षांस्यक्रमीत्

Golden-horned, bull-like, hundred-warding is this amulet: having crushed all the ill-named, it hath strode down and away over the Rākṣasas.

Mantra 6

शतमहं दुर्णाम्नीनां गन्धर्वाप्सरसां शतम्। शतं शश्वन्वतीनां शतवारेण वारये

A hundred of the ill-named—of Gandharvas and Apsarases a hundred—yea, a hundred of the ever-returning, with the hundred-warding I hold at bay.
