Sukta 3
यस्मा॒द् वाता॑ ऋतु॒था पव॑न्ते॒ यस्मा॑त् समु॒द्रा अधि॑ वि॒क्षर॑न्ति॒ तस्य॑ दे॒वस्य॑। क्रु॒द्धस्यै॒तदागो॒ य ए॒वं वि॒द्वांसं॑ ब्राह्म॒णं जि॒नाति॑ । उद् वे॑पय रोहित॒ प्र क्षि॑णीहि ब्रह्म॒ज्यस्य॒ प्रति॑ मुञ्च॒ पाशा॑न्
yásmād vā́tā r̥tuthā́ pávante yásmāt samudrā́ ádhi víkṣaranti tásya devásya | krúddhasyáitád ā́go yá eváṃ vidvā́ṃsaṃ brāhmaṇáṃ jinā́ti | úd vepaya rohita prá kṣiṇīhi brahmajyásya práti muñca pā́śān
From whom the winds blow forth in ordered season, from whom the oceans pour their streams abroad—of that god, when angered, this is the offence: he who, knowing thus, wrongs a learned Brahmin. Up, make him tremble, O Rohita; waste him away: against the brahma-injurer loose forth the nooses.
彼より、風は季節の秩序に従って吹き出で、彼より、大海はその流れを注ぎ広げる:その神について。彼が憤るとき――これがその罪科である、かく知りつつ学識あるバラモンを害する者の。起て、ローヒタ(Rohita)よ、彼を震えさせよ、衰えさせよ。梵(brahma)を害する者に向け、縄の投げ輪を放て。
