Sukta 10
शं ते॑ अ॒ग्निः स॒हाद्भिर॑स्तु॒ शं सो॑मः स॒हौष॑धीभिः । ए॒वाहं त्वां क्षे॑त्रि॒यान्निरृ॑त्या जामिशं॒साद् द्रु॒हो मु॑ञ्चामि॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ पाशा॑त्। अ॒ना॒गसं॒ ब्रह्म॑णा त्वा कृणोमि शि॒वे ते॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी उ॒भे स्ता॑म्
śáṃ te agníḥ sahā́dbhir astu śáṃ sómaḥ sahóṣadhībhiḥ | evā́háṃ tvāṃ kṣetriyā́n nírṛtyā jāmíśaṃsād drúho muñcāmi váruṇasya pā́śāt | anāgásaṃ bráhmaṇā tvā kṛṇomi śivé te dyā́vā-pṛthivī ubhé stā́m ||
Weal be to thee: may Agni, with the Waters for his fellows, bring thee welfare; weal be to thee: may Soma, with the Herbs for his companions, bring thee welfare. Thus do I loose thee from the kṣetriya-plague, from Nirṛti, from the near-kin’s evil imprecation, from treachery; I release thee from Varuṇa’s noose. Guiltless by holy spell I make thee: gracious to thee may Heaven and Earth, both twain, stand firm.
تجھے خیر ہو: اگنی، پانیوں کے ساتھ، تجھے خیر خواہی دے؛ تجھے خیر ہو: سوما، جڑی بوٹیوں کے ساتھ، تجھے خیر خواہی دے۔ اسی طرح میں تجھے کھیتریا روگ سے، نررتی سے، قریبی رشتہ داروں کی بری بددعا سے، دغا سے آزاد کرتا ہوں، میں تجھے ورن کے پھندے سے چھڑاتا ہوں۔ بےگناہ پوی منتر سے میں تجھے بناتا ہوں: تیرے لیے آسمان اور زمین، دونوں، مستقل کھڑی رہیں۔
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages for bhaiṣajya hymns; specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on anukramaṇī tradition).
Devata: Agni, Soma, Oṣadhis (Herbs), Varuṇa (as binder whose bond is removed), Dyāvāpṛthivī; with Nirṛti as the hostile power to be averted.
Chandas: Mixed; predominantly Anuṣṭubh-like cadence with extended pādas (edition-dependent scansion).
Primary: shanta
Secondary: vira
