Sukta 96

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

ब्रह्मणाग्निः सम्विदानो रक्षोहा बाधतामितः । अमीवा यस्ते गर्भं दुर्णामा योनिमाशये

IAST Transliteration

bráhmaṇā́gníḥ saṃvidā́nó rakṣohā́ bā́dhatām itáḥ | amī́vā yás te gárbhaṃ durṇā́mā yónim ā́śaye ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

With brahman let Agni, well-aware, the Rakṣas-slayer, thrust hence away the wasting ill—what ill-named bane lies lodged upon thy embryo, upon the womb.

Translation

பிரம்ம (மந்திர-வலிமை) உடன், நன்கு அறிந்த ரக்ஷஸ்-ஹா அக்னி இங்கிருந்து அதைத் தள்ளி அகற்றட்டும். உன் கருவின் மீது, உன் யோனியில் தங்கியுள்ள சிதைக்கும் ‘அமீவா’—அந்த தீயபெயர் நோயை—அவன் இங்கிருந்து ஒடுக்கட்டும்.
