Sukta 1
नीललोहितं भवति कृत्यासक्तिर्व्यऽज्यते । एधन्ते अस्या ज्ञातयः पतिर्बन्धेषु बध्यते
nī́la-lohitáṃ bhavati kṛtyā-saktír vy-àjyate | éd hante asyā jñātáyaḥ pátir bandhésu badhyate ||
Blue-red it comes to be: the clinging of Kṛtyā is wiped away. Her kinsmen prosper; the husband is bound fast in bonds no more (i.e., the binding is averted).
हे निळे-लोहित रूप धारण करते; कृत्येचे चिकटलेपण पुसले जाते. तिचे ज्ञाती-नातेवाईक समृद्ध होतात; पती बंधनांत बांधला जात नाही—बंधन टळते.
Rishi: Atharvanic marriage corpus attribution (variable).
Devata: Anti-Kṛtyā (apotropaic efficacy of brahman); ‘Bandha’ as the harm to be averted.
