Sukta 8
यास्ति॒रश्ची॑रुप॒र्षन्त्य॑र्ष॒णीर्व॒क्षणा॑सु ते । अहिं॑सन्तीरनाम॒या निर्द्र॑वन्तु ब॒हिर्बिल॑म्
yās tiráścīr úparṣanty arṣaṇī́r vakṣaṇā́su te | ahíṃsantīr anāmayā́ nírdravantu bahírbilám ||
What female powers, spreading crosswise, press upon thy joints, upon thy groins—harmless, unailing, let them run forth, away, unto the outer burrow.
Wahai kuasa-kuasa perempuan yang membentang melintang, menekan pada sendi-sendi, pada pangkal paha—tanpa mencederai, tanpa penyakit, larilah keluar, menjauh, menuju liang di luar.
