Sukta 3
सं॒यञ्चं॒ तन्तुं॑ प्र॒दिशोऽनु॒ सर्वा॑ अ॒न्तर्गा॑य॒त्र्याम॒मृत॑स्य॒ गर्भे॒ तस्य॑ दे॒वस्य॑ । क्रु॒द्धस्यै॒तदागो॒ य ए॒वं वि॒द्वांसं॑ ब्राह्म॒णं जि॒नाति॑ । उद् वे॑पय रोहित॒ प्र क्षि॑णीहि ब्रह्म॒ज्यस्य॒ प्रति॑ मुञ्च॒ पाशा॑न्
saṃyáñcaṃ tántuṃ pradíśo’nu sárvā antár gāyatrī́yām amṛ́tasya gárbhe tásya devásya | kruddhásyaitád ā́go yá eváṃ vidvā́ṃsaṃ brāhmaṇáṃ jinā́ti | úd vepaya rohita prá kṣiṇīhi brahmajyásya práti muñca pā́śān ||
The thread drawn tight along all the quarters—within the Gāyatrī, in the womb of immortality—of that God. This is the offence against the wrathful One: whoso thus a knowing Brahman wrongs. Up, make him tremble, O Rohita; waste him away: upon the Brahman-hurter loose back the nooses.
सर्व दिशांच्या अनुषंगाने ताणलेला, घट्ट धरलेला तंतु—गायत्रीच्या अंतर्भागात, अमृताच्या गर्भात—त्या देवाचे (हे रूप). त्या क्रुद्ध देवाविरुद्ध हेच पाप: जो असा जाणकार ब्राह्मणाला अन्यायाने जिंकतो/छळतो. हे रोहित, त्याला थरथर कापव; त्याला क्षीण कर; ब्रह्महंत्यावर पाश परत सोड.
