वध्र॑यस्ते खनि॒तारो॒ वध्रि॒स्त्वम॑स्योषधे । वध्रिः॒ स पर्व॑तो गि॒रिर्यतो॑ जा॒तमि॒दं वि॒षम्
vádhrayas te khanitā́ro vádhris tvám asy oṣadhe | vádhriḥ sá párvato girír yáto jātám idáṃ viṣám ||
Vadhryas are thy diggers; thou art Vadhri, O Herb. Vadhri is that mountain, that rock, whence this poison hath been born.
నీ తవ్వేవారు ‘వధ్రయ’లు; ఓ ఓషధి, నీవే ‘వధ్రి’. ఆ ‘వధ్రి’యే ఆ పర్వతం, ఆ గిరి—అక్కడినుంచే ఈ విషం జన్మించింది.
