Opening the text

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not specified in the excerpt).
Devata: Agni; Waters (Āpas) as implicit agents; anti-deity target: Nirṛti.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-like cadence possible; requires metrical verification from full pada counts.
这篇简短的阿闼婆梵咒辞以净化之水、由阿耆尼扶持的复原之力,以及以功德为凭的仪式言辞,来对治并驱逐尼利提——不幸、衰耗与死气。它把凶兆性的“接触”(如坠落之果或空中触及)视为可移除的污秽,从身躯与衣裳中洗除;继而以仪式封护,使此人安住于兴盛、光辉,并得赐子嗣的吉祥。
Mantra 1
निर्ऋत्यपस्तरणम्। दि॒वो नु मां बृ॑ह॒तो अ॒न्तरि॑क्षाद॒पां स्तो॒को अ॒भ्यऽपप्तद् रसे॑न । समि॑न्द्रि॒येण॒ पय॑सा॒हम॑ग्ने॒ छन्दो॑भिर्य॒ज्ञैः सु॒कृतां॑ कृ॒तेन॑
(对抗尼利提 Nirṛti 的铺展之法。)此刻,从高广的天、从中空,一滴水带着其生机之精落在我身上。阿耆尼 Agni 啊,我以精力与乳汁而复全——凭诸韵律、诸祭祀、善业之成就、已完成之行持。
Mantra 2
यदि॑ वृ॒क्षाद॒भ्यप॑प्त॒त् फलं॒ तद् यद्य॒न्तरि॑क्षा॒त् स उ॑ वा॒युरे॒व। यत्रास्पृ॑क्षत् त॒न्वो॒३यच्च॒ वास॑स॒ आपो॑ नुदन्तु॒ निरृ॑तिं परा॒चैः
若有果实自树上落下击中我——或自中空而来:那实乃唯有风而已。凡其所触之处——身体之处,及衣裳之处——愿诸水驱逐尼利提 Nirṛti,令其远去。
Mantra 3
अ॒भ्यञ्ज॑नं सुर॒भि सा समृ॑द्धि॒र्हिर॑ण्यं॒ वर्च॒स्तदु॑ पू॒त्रिम॑मे॒व। सर्वा॑ प॒वित्रा॒ वित॒ताध्य॒स्मत् तन्मा ता॑री॒न्निरृ॑ति॒र्मो अरा॑तिः
这涂抹之膏芬芳馥郁——此即兴盛;黄金为光辉——诚然,此即赐子之力。愿一切净化者在我们上方铺展;愿尼梨提(Nirṛti,毁灭/不幸之女神)不将我们带走;愿敌人的恶意亦不得得势。
Nirṛti is the Atharvavedic figure of misfortune—loss, wasting, and a deathward pull. The hymn treats her as an invasive influence that can be driven away by purification and authoritative speech.
It addresses sudden ominous contact—like a fruit falling on someone or an unexplained touch from above—interpreting it as a removable taint. The Waters are commanded to push that misfortune away from both body and clothing.
The core is clean water for sprinkling/washing. If available, milk (for strengthening), a fragrant anointing, and a small gold token serve as traditional supports for wholeness, auspiciousness, and radiance.
