शृ॒तम॒जं शृ॒तया॒ प्रोर्णु॑हि त्व॒चा सर्वै॒रङ्गैः॒ संभृ॑तं वि॒श्वरू॑पम्। स उत् ति॑ष्ठे॒तो अ॒भि नाक॑मुत्त॒मं प॒द्भिश्च॒तुर्भिः॒ प्रति॑ तिष्ठ दि॒क्षु

IAST Transliteration

śr̥tám ajáṃ śr̥táyā prórṇuhi tvácā sárvair áṅgaiḥ sáṃbhr̥taṃ viśvárūpam | sá út tíṣṭhetó abhí nā́kam uttamáṃ padbhíś catúrbhiḥ práti tiṣṭha dikṣú

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

The boiled goat—cover thou it with the boiled (preparation), with skin; with all its members, compacted, manifold in form. Let it rise from hence toward the highest heaven; with four feet take thou firm stand, confronting, in the quarters.

Translation

ಶೃತವಾದ ಅಜವನ್ನು ಶೃತವಾದ (ಪಾಕತಯಾರಿ)ಯಿಂದ, ಚರ್ಮದಿಂದ ಮುಚ್ಚು; ಅದರ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಅಂಗಗಳೊಡನೆ ಸಂಹತವಾಗಿ, ವಿಶ್ವರೂಪವಾಗಿರಲಿ. ಅದು ಇಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಎದ್ದು ಅತ್ಯುನ್ನತ ನಾಕ (ಸ್ವರ್ಗ)ದ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಲಿ; ನಾಲ್ಕು ಪಾದಗಳಿಂದ ದಿಕ್ಕುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಎದುರಾಗಿ ದೃಢವಾಗಿ ನಿಲ್ಲು.

Word by Word
शृतम्cooked/boiled, prepared
शृतम्:
Karma
TypeAdjective
Rootशृत (कृदन्त-प्रातिपदिक; √श्रि/श्रय्? → here as PPP ‘शृत’ from √श्रि?; in Vedic commonly ‘शृत’ = ‘cooked/boiled’ from √श्रि/श्रय् is unlikely; standard is √श्रि not; better: √श्रि is ‘to lean’; ‘शृत’ as PPP from √श्रि is not regular; in AV ‘शृत’ is used for ‘cooked/boiled’ from √श्रि? actually classical: √श्रि has no; ‘शृत’ is PPP of √श्रि?; more securely: PPP of √श्रि is ‘श्रित’; hence take ‘शृत’ as PPP of √श्र (to cook) i.e., √श्र (श्र्) not standard; but Vedic has √श्र (to cook) attested → ‘शृत’}
