Mantra 17
Sukta 6
यमबध्नाद् बृहस्पतिर्वाताय मणिमाशवे । तमिमं देवता मणिं प्रत्यमुञ्चन्त शंभुवम्। स आभ्यो विश्वमिद् दुहे भूयोभूयः श्वःश्वस्तेन त्वं द्विषतो जहि
yám abadhnād bṛ́haspátir vātā́ya maṇím āśáve | tám imáṃ devátā maṇíṃ práty amuñcanta śambhúvam | sá ā́bhyo víśvam íd duhe bhū́yo-bhūyaḥ śváḥ-śvaḥ téna tváṃ dviṣatáḥ jahí
Whom Bṛhaspati bound on, the swift-working amulet, for Vāta;—this same amulet the Gods, in counter-set, have fastened on, the beneficent. From these it verily milks forth all good, again and yet again, day after day: therewith do thou smite down the haters.
वायूसाठी बृहस्पतीने जो बांधला—तो वेगाने कार्य करणारा मणि (ताबीज) आहे. हाच कल्याणकारी मणि देवतांनी ‘प्रत्यामुञ्चन’ (प्रतिबंध/प्रतिसंयोजन) करून बांधून ठेवला आहे. तो यांच्यापासून खरोखर सर्व शुभ दुहतो—पुन्हा पुन्हा, दिवसेंदिवस; त्याच्याने तू द्वेष करणाऱ्यांना पाडून टाक.
