Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·3·3.7
हरिणस्य रघुष्यदो ऽधि शीर्षणि भेषजम् । स क्षेत्रियं विषाणया विषूचीनम् अनीनशत् ॥१॥
hariṇasya raghuṣyado 'dhi śīrṣaṇi bheṣajam | sa kṣetriyaṃ viṣāṇayā viṣūcīnam anīnaśat ||1||
On the head of the swift-running gazelle (hariṇá) is a remedy; he by his horn hath made the kṣetriyá disappear, dispersing.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अनु त्वा हरिणो वृषा पद्भिश् चतुर्भिर् अक्रमीत् । विषाणे वि ष्य गुष्पितं यद् अस्य क्षेत्रियं हृदि ॥२॥
anu tvā hariṇo vṛṣā padbhiś caturbhir akramīt | viṣāṇe vi ṣya guṣpitaṃ yad asya kṣetriyaṃ hṛdi ||2||
After thee hath the bull-gazelle stridden with his four feet; O horn, do thou unfasten (vi-sā) the kṣetriyá that is compacted (?) in his heart.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अदो यद् अवरोचते चतुष्पक्षम् इव छदिः । तेना ते सर्वं क्षेत्रियम् अङ्गेभ्यो नाशयामसि ॥३॥
ado yad avarocate catuṣpakṣam iva chadiḥ | tenā te sarvaṃ kṣetriyam aṅgebhyo nāśayāmasi ||3||
What shines down yonder, like a four-sided roof (chadís), therewith we make all the kṣetriyá disappear from thy limbs.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अमू ये दिवि सुभगे विचृतौ नाम तारके । वि क्षेत्रियस्य मुञ्चताम् अधमं पाशम् उत्तमम् ॥४॥
amū ye divi subhage vicṛtau nāma tārake | vi kṣetriyasya muñcatām adhamaṃ pāśam uttamam ||4||
The two blessed stars named Unfasteners (vicṛ́t), that are yonder in the sky—let them unfasten of the kṣetriyá the lowest, the highest fetter.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
आप इद् वा उ भेषजीर् आपो अमीवचातनीः । आपो विश्वस्य भेषजीस् तास् त्वा मुञ्चन्तु क्षेत्रियात् ॥५॥
āpa id vā u bheṣajīr āpo amīvacātanīḥ | āpo viśvasya bheṣajīs tās tvā muñcantu kṣetriyāt ||5||
The waters verily [are] remedial, the waters disease-expelling, the waters remedial of everything; let them release thee from kṣetriyá.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
यद् आसुतेः क्रियमानायाः क्षेत्रियं त्वा व्यानशे । वेदाहं तस्य भेषजं क्षेत्रियं नाशयामि त्वत् ॥६॥
yad āsuteḥ kriyamānāyāḥ kṣetriyaṃ tvā vyānaśe | vedāhaṃ tasya bheṣajaṃ kṣetriyaṃ nāśayāmi tvat ||6||
If from the drink (? āsutí) that was being made the kṣetriyá hath come upon (vi-aç) thee, I know the remedy of it; I make the kṣetriyá disappear from thee.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अपवासे नक्षत्राणाम् अपवास उषसाम् उत । अपास्मत् सर्वं दुर्भूतम् अप क्षेत्रियम् उछतु ॥७॥
apavāse nakṣatrāṇām apavāsa uṣasām uta | apāsmat sarvaṃ durbhūtam apa kṣetriyam uchatu ||7||
In the fading-out of the asterisms, in the fading-out of the dawns also, from us [fade] out all that is of evil nature, fade out (apa-vas) the kṣetriyá.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
