क्रिमिनाशनम्। उ॒द्यन्ना॑दि॒त्यः क्रिमी॑न् हन्तु नि॒म्रोच॑न् हन्तु र॒श्मिभिः॑ । ये अ॒न्तः क्रिम॑यो॒ गवि॑
krimināśanam | udyánn ādityáḥ krimī́n hantu nimrócan hantu raśmíbhíḥ | yé antáḥ krímayo gávi
Worm-slaying. Let the rising Āditya smite the worms; let the setting one smite them with his rays—those worms that are within, in the cow.
కృమినాశనం. ఉదయించే ఆదిత్యుడు కృములను హతమార్చుగాక; అస్తమించే (ఆదిత్యుడు) తన రశ్ములతో వాటిని హతమార్చుగాక—లోపల ఉన్న, గోవు (ఆవు) లోపల ఉన్న ఆ కృములను.
