Mantra 1
Sukta 135
बलप्राप्तिः। यदश्नामि बलं कुर्व इत्थं वज्रमा ददे । स्कन्धानमुष्य शातयन् वृत्रस्येव शचीपतिः
yád aśnā́mi bálaṃ kurve ittháṃ vájram ā́ dade | skandhā́n amúṣya śātáyan vṛtrásyeva śacī́patiḥ ||
What I eat, thereby I make me strength: thus do I take unto me the thunderbolt; shattering the shoulders of that man, as Śacī’s Lord smote Vṛtra.
பலப் பெறுதல். நான் உண்ணுவது அதனால் எனக்குள் பலம் உண்டாகிறது; இவ்வாறே நான் வஜ்ரத்தை எனக்குள் ஏற்றுக் கொள்கிறேன். அந்த மனிதனின் தோள்களை நொறுக்குமாறு—சசீபதி வ்ருத்ரனை அடித்ததுபோல்.
