IAST Transliteration

yā́ḥ kṛtyā́ āṅgirasī́r yā́ḥ kṛtyā́ āsurī́r yā́ḥ | kṛtyā́ḥ svayáṃkṛtā yā́ u ca anyébhir ā́bhṛtāḥ | ubhayī́s tā́ḥ párā yantu parāváto navatíṃ nā́vyā́ ati ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

What Kṛtyās be of Āṅgirasa sort, what Kṛtyās be Asuric; what Kṛtyās are self-wrought, and what indeed are brought on by others—both kinds, let them depart away, to the far distance, ninety (leagues) beyond, over by boat.

Translation

ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਕ੍ਰਿਤਿਆਵਾਂ ਆਂਗਿਰਸੀ ਕਿਸਮ ਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਕ੍ਰਿਤਿਆਵਾਂ ਆਸੁਰੀ ਕਿਸਮ ਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ; ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਕ੍ਰਿਤਿਆਵਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਕੀਤੀਆਂ (ਸਵਯੰਕ੍ਰਿਤ) ਹਨ, ਅਤੇ ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਹੋਰਾਂ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਲਿਆਂਦੀਆਂ/ਲਗਾਈਆਂ ਗਈਆਂ ਹਨ—ਉਹ ਦੋਵੇਂ ਕਿਸਮਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਕ੍ਰਿਤਿਆਵਾਂ ਦੂਰੋਂ ਦੂਰ ਚਲੀਆਂ ਜਾਣ; ਪਰਾਵਤ ਵੱਲ, ਨੌਕਾ ਨਾਲ ਪਾਰ, ਨੱਬੇ ਯੋਜਨ ਪਰੇ।

Attribution

Rishi: Atharvanic/Āṅgirasa tradition (hymn-level attribution varies).

Devata: Kṛtyā (as adversary) and the expulsion-force of the mantra; no single deva invoked directly.

Chandas: Mixed/expanded Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (longer stanza with enumerations; metrical irregularity typical of AV spell-catalogues).
