Sukta 18
ईर्ष्याविनाशनम्। ई॒र्ष्याया॒ ध्राजिं॑ प्रथ॒मां प्र॑थ॒मस्या॑ उ॒ताप॑राम्। अ॒ग्निं हृ॑द॒य्यं॑१ शोकं॒ तं ते॒ निर्वा॑पयामसि
īrṣyā-vināśanam | īrṣyā́yā dhrā́jiṃ prathamā́ṃ prathamásyā utā́parām | agníṃ hṛdayyàṃ śokáṃ táṃ te nírvāpayāmasi ||
Jealousy’s destruction. Jealousy’s blaze—the first, and of the first her later flare; the heart-seated fire, the grief—this from thee we quench.
ईर्ष्याविनाशनम्। ईर्ष्याया ध्राजिं प्रथमां प्रथमस्याः उतापराम्। अग्निं हृदय्यं शोकं तं ते निर्वापयामसि।
