Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·2·2.4
दीर्घायुत्वाय बृहते रणायारिष्यन्तो दक्षमाणाः सदैव । मणिं विष्कन्धदूषणं जङ्गिडं बिभृमो वयम् ॥१॥
dīrghāyutvāya bṛhate raṇāyāriṣyanto dakṣamāṇāḥ sadaiva | maṇiṃ viṣkandhadūṣaṇaṃ jaṅgiḍaṃ bibhṛmo vayam ||1||
In order to length of life, to great joy, we, taking no harm, all the time capable (dakṣ), bear the jan̄giḍá, the víṣkandha -spoiling amulet.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
जङ्गिडो जम्भाद् विशराद् विष्कन्धाद् अभिशोचनात् । मणिः सहस्रवीर्यः परि णः पातु विश्वतः ॥२॥
jaṅgiḍo jambhād viśarād viṣkandhād abhiśocanāt | maṇiḥ sahasravīryaḥ pari ṇaḥ pātu viśvataḥ ||2||
From jambá, from viçará, from víṣkandha, from scorching (abhiçócana), let the jan̄giḍá, the amulet of thousand-fold valiance (-vīryà), protect us about on every side.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अयं विष्कन्धं सहते ऽयं बाधते अत्त्रिणः । अयं नो विश्वभेषजो जङ्गिडः पात्व् अंहसः ॥३॥
ayaṃ viṣkandhaṃ sahate 'yaṃ bādhate attriṇaḥ | ayaṃ no viśvabheṣajo jaṅgiḍaḥ pātv aṃhasaḥ ||3||
This one overpowers the víṣkandha; this drives off the devourers; let this jan̄giḍá, possessing all remedies, protect us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
देवैर् दत्तेन मणिना जङ्गिडेन मयोभुवा । विष्कन्धं सर्वा रक्षांसि व्यायामे सहामहे ॥४॥
devair dattena maṇinā jaṅgiḍena mayobhuvā | viṣkandhaṃ sarvā rakṣāṃsi vyāyāme sahāmahe ||4||
With the amulet given by the gods, the kindly jan̄giḍá, we overpower in the struggle (vyāyāmá) the víṣkandha [and] all demons.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
शणश् च मा जङ्गिडश् च विष्कन्धाद् अभि रक्षताम् । अरण्याद् अन्य आभृतः कृष्या अन्यो रसेभ्यः ॥५॥
śaṇaś ca mā jaṅgiḍaś ca viṣkandhād abhi rakṣatām | araṇyād anya ābhṛtaḥ kṛṣyā anyo rasebhyaḥ ||5||
Let both the hemp and the jan̄giḍá defend me from the víṣkandha : the one brought from the forest, the other from the juices (rása) of ploughing.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
कृत्यादूषिर् अयं मणिर् अथो अरातिदूषिः । अथो सहस्वान् जङ्गिडः प्र ण आयुंषि तारिषत् ॥६॥
kṛtyādūṣir ayaṃ maṇir atho arātidūṣiḥ | atho sahasvān jaṅgiḍaḥ pra ṇa āyuṃṣi tāriṣat ||6||
Witchcraft-spoiling is this amulet, likewise niggard-spoiling; likewise shall the pov/eriul jan̄giḍá prolong our life-times.
