Sukta 29
क्षि॒रे मा॑ म॒न्थे य॑त॒मो द॒दम्भा॑कृष्टप॒च्ये अश॑ने धा॒न्ये॒३यः । तदा॒त्मना॑ प्र॒जया॑ पिशा॒चा वि या॑तयन्तामग॒दो॒३यम॑स्तु
kṣīré mā mánthe yátamo dadámbhā́kṛṣṭa-pacyé áśane dhā́nyeyaḥ | tád ātmánā prajā́yā piśācā́ ví yātayantām agadó ayám astu
In milk, in the churned draught, in the cooked dish drawn together, in grain-food—whichever (Piśāca) hath afflicted me in the eating: that, with its own self, with its progeny, let the Piśācas be driven apart; let this be an antidote.
W mleku, w maślance, w daniu ugotowanym i zebranym, w pożywieniu z ziarna, którykolwiek Piśaca dotknął mnie przy jedzeniu: to, wraz z jego własną istotą, wraz z jego potomstwem, niech Piśace zostaną rozproszone; niech to będzie odtrutka.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angiras tradition
Devata: Piśācas (adversary); ‘Agada’ efficacy; implicit Agni
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like (probable; requires metrical verification)
Primary: vira
