Sukta 19
ब्रा॒ह्म॒णेन॒ पर्यु॑क्तासि॒ कण्वे॑न नार्ष॒देन॑ । सेने॑वैषि॒ त्विषी॑मती॒ न तत्र॑ भ॒यमस्ति॒ यत्र॑ प्रा॒प्नोष्यो॑षधे
brā́hmaṇena párīuktāsi káṇvena nārṣadéna | sénā́ iveṣi tvíṣīmatī ná tátra bhayám asti yátra prā́pnoṣy óṣadhe ||
By holy spell thou art encompassed—by Kaṇva, by Nārṣada. Like an army thou advancest, full of flashing might: no fear is there where thou attainest, O Herb.
汝は梵呪により周く護られたり――カṇヴァ(Kaṇva)により、ナールシャダ(Nārṣada)により。汝は軍勢のごとく進み、閃く威力に満ちる。薬草よ、汝が到るところ、そこには恐れなし。
