この短いヴァージーカラナ(vājīkaraṇa)の讃歌は、男性の精力を刺激して増大させ、堅固な勃起と成就する交合を確かなものとするための増力呪である。アルカ(arka、アルカ草および/または充電された「太陽」の力)と、膨張し強める生命の風ヴァータ(vāta)とを力づけ、生成器が「肢体を肢体に結び合わせ」、常の度量を超えるようにする。
Mantra 1
वाजीकरणम्। यथा॑सि॒तः प्र॒थय॑ते॒ वशाँ॒ अनु॒ वपूं॑षि कृ॒ण्वन्नसु॑रस्य मा॒यया॑ । ए॒वा ते॒ शेपः॒ सह॑सा॒यम॒र्कोऽङ्गे॒नाङ्गं॒ संस॑मकं कृणोतु
『ヴァージーカラナ(Vājīkaraṇa)』。黒きものが従順なる雌へと広がり寄り、アスラ(Asura)の不思議なる力(māyā)によって諸身を形づくるがごとく——そのように、このアルカ(Arka)が力をもって、汝の男根を、肢と肢とを密に結び合わせよ。
Mantra 2
यथा॒ पस॑स्तायाद॒रं वाते॑न स्थूल॒भं कृ॒तम्। याव॒त् पर॑स्वतः॒ पस॒स्ताव॒त् ते वर्धतां॒ पसः॑
ちょうど雄々しい男根が十分に引き伸ばされ、風によって太く堅く作られるように――その度合いが尺度を越えるほどに、汝の男根もまた増大せよ。
Mantra 3
या॒व॒द॒ङ्गीनं॒ पार॑स्वतं॒ हास्ति॑नं॒ गार्द॑भं च॒ यत्। याव॒दश्वस्य वा॒जिन॒स्ताव॑त् ते वर्धतां॒ पसः॑
肢体そなわるその尺度の及ぶかぎり――パラシュに由来するもの、象のごときもの、驢馬のごときもの、いかなるものであれ――また、駿馬(vājin)の雄々しき力の及ぶかぎり、そのほどに汝の男根(pásas)が増し栄えよ。
It is a vājīkaraṇa (virility) hymn used to increase male sexual potency, firmness, and effective union during intercourse.
Arka is treated as an empowered substance—often identified with the arka-plant (Calotropis) and its charged, radiant potency—invoked to strengthen generative power.
Atharvanic practice commonly pairs the recitation with arka as an unction or amulet after empowering it by mantra; however, exact procedures vary by tradition and are not fully specified within the three verses alone.
