Sukta 17
यां ते॑ च॒क्रुरा॒मे पात्रे॒ यां च॒क्रुर्नी॑ललोहि॒ते। आ॒मे मां॒से कृ॒त्यां यां च॒क्रुस्तया॑ कृत्या॒कृतो॑ जहि
yā́m te cakrúr āmé pā́tre yā́m ca cakrúr nī́lalohité | āmé mā́ṁse kṛtyā́m yā́m ca cakrús táyā kṛtyā́kṛto jahí ||
The witchcraft which they have wrought against thee in a raw vessel, which they have wrought in the blue-and-red; the witchcraft which they have wrought in raw flesh—therewith smite thou the witchcraft-workers.
Phép yểm mà họ đã làm hại ngươi trong chiếc đồ đựng còn sống (chưaสุก), phép yểm mà họ đã làm trong màu xanh và đỏ, phép yểm mà họ đã làm trong thịt sống—bằng chính phép ấy, hãy đánh diệt những kẻ làm phép yểm.
