Mantra 2
Sukta 93
मनसा होमैर्हरसा घृतेन शर्वायास्त्र उत राज्ञे भवाय । नमस्येऽभ्यो नम एभ्यः कृणोम्यन्यत्रास्मदघविषा नयन्तु
mánasā homáir hárasā ghṛténa śárvāyā́stre utá rā́jñe bhávāya | namasyé’bhyo náma ebhyaḥ kṛṇomy anyátrā́smád agháviṣā nayantu ||
With mind, with oblations, with ardent force, with ghee, to Śarva, to the Weapon, and to the King, to Bhava—unto the reverence-worthy I make obeisance, obeisance unto these: let the evil-venomed bear (their bane) elsewhere, away from us.
ਮਨ ਨਾਲ, ਹੋਮ ਦੀਆਂ ਆਹੁਤੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ, ਤੀਬਰ ਬਲ ਨਾਲ, ਘਿਉ ਨਾਲ—ਸ਼ਰਵ ਨੂੰ, ਅਸਤ੍ਰ ਨੂੰ ਅਤੇ ਰਾਜੇ ਨੂੰ, ਭਵ ਨੂੰ—ਵੰਦਨਯੋਗਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੈਂ ਨਮਸਕਾਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ; ਇਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਮਃ। ਦੁਸ਼ਟ-ਵਿਸ਼ ਵਾਲੇ (ਅਘਵਿਸ਼ਾ) ਸਾਡੀ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਦੂਰ, ਹੋਰ ਥਾਂ (ਆਪਣਾ ਬੁਰਾ) ਲੈ ਜਾਣ।
