Sukta 18
अ॒नया॒हमोष॑ध्या सर्वाः॑ कृ॒त्या अ॑दूदुषम्। यां क्षेत्रे॑ च॒क्रुर्यां गोषु॒ यां वा॑ ते॒ पुरु॑षेषु
anáyā́ham óṣadhyā sarvā́ḥ kṛtyā́ adūduṣam | yā́ṃ kṣétrē cakrúryā́ṃ góṣu yā́ṃ vā te púruṣeṣu ||
With this herb I, for my part, have marred all witchcrafts—what they have wrought in field, what among the kine, or what, again, within thy men.
या औषधीने मी सर्व कृत्या दूषित करून (विफल करून) टाकतो—ज्या त्यांनी शेतात केल्या, ज्या गायींमध्ये केल्या, किंवा पुन्हा तुझ्या पुरुषांमध्ये केल्या.
