Sukta 8
आस्तेयीश्च वास्तेयीश्च त्वरणाः कृपणाश्च याः । गुह्याः शुक्रा स्थूला अपस्ता बीभत्सावसादयन्
ā́steyīś ca vā́steyīś ca tvaraṇā́ḥ kṛ́paṇāś ca yā́ḥ | guhyā́ḥ śukrā́ sthūlā́ apástā bī́bhatsā́vasādayan ||
Both those that are of the hearth and those that are of the house—those swift, those wretched, whatsoever are secret, bright, gross, cast down, and loathsome—these they pressed down and made to subside.
无论属炉边者,或属家宅者——那些迅疾者、困乏者;凡隐秘者、明净者、粗大者、堕落者、可憎者——他们将这一切压伏,使之沉寂下去。
