Sukta 7

Mantra 1

विषनाषनम् वारि॒दं वा॑रयातै वर॒णाव॑त्या॒मधि॑ । तत्रा॒मृत॒स्यासि॑क्त॒ तेना॑ ते वारये वि॒षम्

Poison-destroying is this water: let it ward (thee) off upon Varāṇāvatī. Therein is ambrosia poured; with that do I ward off from thee the poison.

Mantra 2

अ॒र॒सं प्रा॒च्यंऽवि॒षम॑र॒सं यदु॑दी॒च्यऽम्। अथे॒दम॑धरा॒च्यं॑ कर॒म्भेण॒ वि क॑ल्पते

Sapless is the eastern portion, harmless and sapless that which is the northern: then this southern share is duly ordered and made ready with karambha-gruel.

Mantra 3

क॒र॒म्भं कृ॒त्वा ति॒र्यंऽपीबस्पा॒कमु॑दार॒थिम्। क्षु॒धा किल॑ त्वा दुष्टनो जक्षि॒वान्त्स न रू॑रुपः

Having made the karambha, drink it sideways—our easing draught: for hunger verily hath driven thee, O ill-bodied one, that hast been devouring; so do thou not work deformity.

Mantra 4

वि ते॒ मदं॑ मदावति श॒रमि॑व पातयामसि । प्र त्वा॑ च॒रुमि॑व॒ येष॑न्तं॒ वच॑सा स्थापयामसि

Thy frenzy, O maddening one, we smite down as an arrow: thee, though seething, we set firm by speech, as one setteth a cooked oblation in its place.

Mantra 5

परि॒ ग्राम॑मि॒वाचि॑तं॒ वच॑सा स्थापयामसि । तिष्ठा॑ वृ॒क्ष इ॑व॒ स्थाम्न्यभ्रि॑खाते॒ न रू॑रुपः

As one setteth fast a village well-built round about, so by our speech we set thee firm. Stand in thy station like a tree in a dug-out socket: be not misshapen.

Mantra 6

प॒वस्तै॑स्त्वा॒ पर्य॑क्रीणन् दू॒र्शेभि॑र॒जिनै॑रु॒त। प्र॒क्रीर॑सि॒ त्वमो॑ष॒धेऽभ्रि॑खाते॒ न रू॑रुपः

With sieves they compassed thee and bought thee, with thongs and with skins moreover. Bought forth art thou, O Herb: in the dug-out setting fail not, nor work deformity.

Mantra 7

अना॑प्ता॒ ये वः॑ प्रथ॒मा यानि॒ कर्मा॑णि चक्रि॒रे॑। वी॒रान्नो॒ अत्र॒ मा द॑भ॒न् तद् व॑ ए॒तत्पु॒रो द॑धे

Let not those, unaccomplished, who first among you wrought what works they wrought, here circumvent our heroes: this for you I set in front as a defence.
