Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·2·2.32
उद्यन्न् आदित्यः क्रिमीन् हन्तु निम्रोचन् हन्तु रश्मिभिः । ये अन्तः क्रिमयो गवि ॥१॥
udyann ādityaḥ krimīn hantu nimrocan hantu raśmibhiḥ | ye antaḥ krimayo gavi ||1||
Let the sun (ādityá), rising, smite the worms; setting, let him smite [them] with his rays—the worms that are within the cow.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
विश्वरूपं चतुरक्षं क्रिमिं सारङ्गम् अर्जुनम् । शृणाम्य् अस्य पृष्टीर् अपि वृश्चामि यच् छिरः ॥२॥
viśvarūpaṃ caturakṣaṃ krimiṃ sāraṅgam arjunam | śṛṇāmy asya pṛṣṭīr api vṛścāmi yac chiraḥ ||2||
The worm of all forms, the four-eyed, the variegated, the whitish—I crush (çṛ) the ribs of it; I hew at (api-vraçc) what is its head.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अत्रिवद् वः क्रिमयो हन्मि कण्ववज् जमदग्निवत् । अगस्त्यस्य ब्रह्मणा सं पिनष्म्य् अहं क्रिमीन् ॥३॥
atrivad vaḥ krimayo hanmi kaṇvavaj jamadagnivat | agastyasya brahmaṇā saṃ pinaṣmy ahaṃ krimīn ||3||
Like Atri I slay you, O worms, like Kaṇva, like Jamadagni; with the incantation of Agastya I mash together the worms.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
हतो राजा क्रिमीणाम् उतैषां स्थपतिर् हतः । हतो हतमाता क्रिमिर् हतभ्राता हतस्वसा ॥४॥
hato rājā krimīṇām utaiṣāṃ sthapatir hataḥ | hato hatamātā krimir hatabhrātā hatasvasā ||4||
Slain is the king of the worms, also the chief (sthapáti) of them is slain; slain is the worm, having its mother slain, its brother slain, its sister slain.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
हतासो अस्य वेशसो हतासः परिवेशसः । अथो ये क्षुल्लका इव सर्वे ते क्रिमयो हताः ॥५॥
hatāso asya veśaso hatāsaḥ pariveśasaḥ | atho ye kṣullakā iva sarve te krimayo hatāḥ ||5||
Slain are its neighbors (? veçás), slain its further neighbors (? páriveças), also those that are petty (kṣullaká), as it were—all those worms are slain.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
प्र ते शृणामि शृङ्गे याभ्यां वितुदायसि । भिनाद्मि ते कुषुम्भं यस् ते विषधानः ॥६॥
pra te śṛṇāmi śṛṅge yābhyāṃ vitudāyasi | bhinādmi te kuṣumbhaṃ yas te viṣadhānaḥ ||6||
I crush up (pra-çṛ) thy (two) horns, with which thou thrustest; I split thy receptacle (?), which is thy poison-holder.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
