ह॒तासो॑ अस्य वे॒शसो॑ ह॒तासः॒ परि॑वेशसः । अथो॒ ये क्षु॑ल्ल॒का इ॑व॒ सर्वे॒ ते क्रिम॑यो ह॒ताः
hatā́so asya veśáso hatā́saḥ pári-veśasaḥ | átho yé kṣúllakā́ iva sárve té krímayo hatā́ḥ ||
Slain are his resident lodgers; slain are the encircling lodgers; yea, even those that are, as it were, but paltry—every one of those worms is slain.
Những kẻ trú ngụ trong nhà hắn đã bị diệt; những kẻ trú ngụ bao quanh cũng đã bị diệt; phải, cả những kẻ nhỏ nhoi như vụn vặt—mọi con krimi (giun/sán) ấy đều đã bị diệt.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (krimi-hymn seer as transmitted in the AV anukramaṇī; commonly attributed within Atharvan/Āṅgirasa circles)
Devata: Krimi-nāśana (the destructive power directed against the worms; implicitly the mantra’s own efficacy)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (4 pādas of 8 syllables; typical of AV healing charms)
Primary: raudra
Secondary: vira
