Mantra 26
Sukta 1
Sanskrit (Devanagari)
नीललोहितं भवति कृत्यासक्तिर्व्यऽज्यते । एधन्ते अस्या ज्ञातयः पतिर्बन्धेषु बध्यते
IAST Transliteration
nī́la-lohitáṃ bhavati kṛtyā-saktír vy-àjyate | éd hante asyā jñātáyaḥ pátir bandhésu badhyate ||
English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)
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).
Translation
ਨੀਲ-ਲੋਹਿਤ ਰੰਗ ਦਾ ਉਹ ਬਣ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ; ਕ੍ਰਿਤ੍ਯਾ ਦੀ ਚੰਬੜੀ ਹੋਈ ਗ੍ਰਹਿੜ ਮਿਟ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਉਸ ਦੇ ਸਗੇ-ਸੰਬੰਧੀ ਫਲਦੇ-ਫੂਲਦੇ ਹਨ; ਪਤੀ ਬੰਧਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੁੜ ਨਹੀਂ ਬੱਝਦਾ (ਬੰਧਨ ਟਲ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ)।
