Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·4·4.7
वार् इदम् वारयातै वरणावत्याम् अधि । तत्रामृतस्यासिक्तं तेना ते वारये विषम् ॥१॥
vār idam vārayātai varaṇāvatyām adhi | tatrāmṛtasyāsiktaṃ tenā te vāraye viṣam ||1||
This water (vā́r) shall ward off (vāray-) upon the Varaṇāvatī; an on-pouring of ambrosia (amṛ́ta) is there; with it I ward off thy poison.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अरसं प्राच्यं विषम् अरसं यद् उदीच्यम् । अथेदम् अधराच्यं करम्भेण वि कल्पते ॥२॥
arasaṃ prācyaṃ viṣam arasaṃ yad udīcyam | athedam adharācyaṃ karambheṇa vi kalpate ||2||
Sapless is the poison of the east, sapless what is of the north; also this that is of the south is exchangeable with gruel (karambhá).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
करम्भं कृत्वा तिर्यं पीबस्पाकम् उदारथिम् । क्षुधा किल त्वा दुष्टनो जक्षिवान्त् स न रूरुपः ॥३॥
karambhaṃ kṛtvā tiryaṃ pībaspākam udārathim | kṣudhā kila tvā duṣṭano jakṣivānt sa na rūrupaḥ ||3||
Having made gruel of sesame (?), teeming with fat, steaming (?), thou dost not rack, O ill-bodied one, him that has eaten thee merely from hunger.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
वि ते मदं मदावति शरम् इव पातयामसि । प्र त्वा चरुम् इव येषन्तं वचसा स्थापयामसि ॥४॥
vi te madaṃ madāvati śaram iva pātayāmasi | pra tvā carum iva yeṣantaṃ vacasā sthāpayāmasi ||4||
Away we make thine intoxication fly, like an arrow (çará), O intoxicating one (f.); we make thee with our spell (vácas) to stand forth, like a boiling pot.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
परि ग्रामम् इवाचितं वचसा स्थापयामसि । तिष्ठा वृक्ष इव स्थाम्न्य् अभ्रिखाते न रूरुपः ॥५॥
pari grāmam ivācitaṃ vacasā sthāpayāmasi | tiṣṭhā vṛkṣa iva sthāmny abhrikhāte na rūrupaḥ ||5||
With a spell we cause to stand about [thee] as it were a collected troop (grā́ma); stand thou, like a tree in [its] station; spade-dug one (f.), thou rackest not.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
पवस्तैस् त्वा पर्य् अक्रीणन् दूर्शेभिर् अजिनैर् उत । प्रक्रीर् असि त्वम् ओषधे ऽभ्रिखाते न रूरुपः ॥६॥
pavastais tvā pary akrīṇan dūrśebhir ajinair uta | prakrīr asi tvam oṣadhe 'bhrikhāte na rūrupaḥ ||6||
For covers (? pavásta) they bought thee, also for garments (? dūrçá), for goat-skins; purchasable (? prakrī́) art thou, O herb; spade-dug one, thou rackest not.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अनाप्ता ये वः प्रथमा यानि कर्माणि चक्रिरे । वीरान् नो अत्र मा दभन् तद् व एतत् पुरो दधे ॥७॥
anāptā ye vaḥ prathamā yāni karmāṇi cakrire | vīrān no atra mā dabhan tad va etat puro dadhe ||7||
Who of you did what first unattained deeds—let them not harm our heroes here; for that purpose I put you forward.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
