Sukta 14

Mantra 1

वस्युनाशनम्। निः॒सालां धृ॒ष्णुं धि॒षण॑मेकवा॒द्यां जि॑घ॒त्स्वऽम्। सर्वा॒श्चण्ड॑स्य न॒प्त्योऽ ना॒शया॑मः स॒दान्वाः॑

A destroyer of the Vasyu: forth from the hall we drive the bold impelling power, the single-sounding (charm), the devouring Hunger. All the offspring of Caṇḍa—his ever-attendant brood—these do we cause to perish.

Mantra 2

निर्वो॑ गो॒ष्ठाद॑जामसि॒ निरक्षा॒न्निरु॑पान॒सात्। निर्वो॑ मगुन्द्या दुहितरो गृ॒हेभ्य॑श्चातयामहे

Forth from the cattle-stall we drive you; forth from the axle, forth from the wain. Forth from our houses we chase you, ye daughters of Magundī.

Mantra 3

अ॒सौ यो अ॑ध॒राद् गृ॒हस्तत्र॑ सन्त्वरा॒य्यः । तत्र॑ से॒दिर्न्युऽच्यतु॒ सर्वा॑श्च यातुधा॒न्यः

Yonder—whoso house is from beneath—there let the hostile ones abide; there let a seat be set down by utterance, and there (be) all the Yātudhānī demonesses.

Mantra 4

भू॒त॒प॒तिर्निर॑ज॒त्विन्द्र॑श्चे॒तः स॒दान्वाः॑ । गृ॒हस्य॑ बु॒ध्न आसी॑ना॒स्ता इन्द्रो॒ वज्रे॒णाधि॑ तिष्ठतु

Let the Lord of beings drive them forth; and Indra—constant in intent—(drive them forth). Those that sit upon the house’s base, over those let Indra stand, with thunderbolt above them.

Mantra 5

यदि॒ स्थ क्षे॑त्रि॒याणां॒ यदि॑ वा॒ पुरु॑षेषिताः । यदि॒ स्थ दस्यु॑भ्यो जा॒ता नश्य॑ते॒तः स॒दान्वाः॑

If ye be of the Kṣetriya brood, or if ye be impelled by man; if ye be born from the Dasyu—perish ye hence, O Sadānvas!

Mantra 6

परि॒ धामा॑न्यासामा॒शुर्गाष्ठा॑मिवासरन्। अजै॑षं॒ सर्वा॑ना॒जीन्वो॒ नश्य॑ते॒तः स॒दान्वाः॑

Round about the stations of these did the Swift One run, as to the winning-post. I have conquered all the rivals: vanish ye away, O ye that are ever on the move!
