शतवारो अनीनशद् यक्ष्मान् रक्षांसि तेजसा । आरोहन् वर्चसा सह मणिर् दुर्णामचातनः ॥१॥
śatavāro anīnaśad yakṣmān rakṣāṃsi tejasā | ārohan varcasā saha maṇir durṇāmacātanaḥ ||1||
The çatávāra hath by its keenness (téjas) made to vanish the yákṣmas, the demons, mounting together with splendor, an amulet that expels the ill-named.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
शृङ्गाभ्यां रक्षो नुदते मूलेन यातुधान्यः । मध्येन यक्ष्मं बाधते नैनं पाप्माति तत्रति ॥२॥
śṛṅgābhyāṃ rakṣo nudate mūlena yātudhānyaḥ | madhyena yakṣmaṃ bādhate nainaṃ pāpmāti tatrati ||2||
With its two horns it thrusts away the demon, with its root the sorceresses; with its middle it drives off (bādh) the yákṣma; no evil overpasses it.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
ये यक्ष्मासो अर्भका महान्तो ये च शब्दिनः । सर्वां दुर्णामहा मणिः शतवारो अनीनशत् ॥३॥
ye yakṣmāso arbhakā mahānto ye ca śabdinaḥ | sarvāṃ durṇāmahā maṇiḥ śatavāro anīnaśat ||3||
The yákṣmas that are petty, and they that are great, noisy—all of them the çatávāra amulet, slayer of the ill-named, hath made vanish.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
शतं वीरान् अजनयच् छतं यक्ष्मान् अपावपत् । दुर्णाम्नः सर्वान् हत्वाव रक्षांसि धूनुते ॥४॥
śataṃ vīrān ajanayac chataṃ yakṣmān apāvapat | durṇāmnaḥ sarvān hatvāva rakṣāṃsi dhūnute ||4||
A hundred heroes it generated; a hundred yákṣmas it scattered away; having slain all the ill-named ones, it shakes down the demons.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
हिरण्यशृङ्ग ऋषभः शातवारो अयं मणिः । दुर्णाम्नः सर्वांस् तृध्वाव रक्षांस्य् अक्रमीत् ॥५॥
hiraṇyaśṛṅga ṛṣabhaḥ śātavāro ayaṃ maṇiḥ | durṇāmnaḥ sarvāṃs tṛdhvāva rakṣāṃsy akramīt ||5||
A golden-horned bull [is] this amulet of çatávāra; having shattered (tṛh) all the ill-named ones, it hath trodden down the demons.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
शतम् अहं दुर्णाम्नीनां गन्धर्वाप्सरसां शतम् । शतम् शश्वन्वतीनां शतवारेण वारये ॥६॥
śatam ahaṃ durṇāmnīnāṃ gandharvāpsarasāṃ śatam | śatam śaśvanvatīnāṃ śatavāreṇa vāraye ||6||
With the çatávāra I ward off (vāraya-) a hundred of the ill-named ones (f.), a hundred of the Gandharvas-and-Apsarases, and a hundred of the doglike ones (f.).
