Sukta 17
तृ॒ष्णा॒मा॒रं क्षु॑धामा॒रमथो॑ अक्षपराज॒यम्। अपा॑मार्ग॒ त्वया॑ व॒यं सर्वं॒ तदप॒ मृज्महे
tṛ́ṣṇāmā́raṁ kṣudhāmā́ram átho ákṣaparājáyam | apā́mārga tváyā vayáṁ sárvaṁ tád ápa mṛjmahe ||
Thirst-slaying and hunger-slaying, and also defeat at the dice—with thee, O Apāmārga, all that we wipe away.
Убивающее жажду, убивающее голод, а также поражение в игре в кости — с тобою, о Апамарга, всё это мы отираем прочь.
