Sukta 7
जी॒व॒लां न॑घारि॒षां जी॑व॒न्तीमोष॑धीम॒हम्। अ॒रु॒न्ध॒तीमु॒न्नय॑न्तीं पु॒ष्पां मधु॑मतीमि॒ह हु॑वे॒ऽस्मा अ॑रि॒ष्टता॑तये
jīvalā́ṃ nághāriṣāṃ jīvántīm óṣadhīm ahám | arundhatī́m únnayantīṃ púṣpāṃ mádhumatīm ihá huve ’smā́ áriṣṭatātaye
The life-bestowing, the harmless, the living herb do I invoke—Arundhatī, that leadeth upward, flowering, honey-sweet—here I call her, for this man, unto unharmed security.
زندگی دینے والی، بے ضرر، جیتی جڑی بوٹی میں پکارتا ہوں, ارندھاتی، جو اوپر لے جاتی ہے، پھول والی، شہد میٹھی, میں یہاں اسے پکارتا ہوں، اس آدمی کے لیے، بے ضرر حفاظت کے لیے۔
