अनडुद्भ्यस् त्वं प्रथमं धेनुभ्यस् त्वम् अरुन्धति । अधेनवे वयसे शर्म यछ चतुष्पदे ॥१॥
anaḍudbhyas tvaṃ prathamaṃ dhenubhyas tvam arundhati | adhenave vayase śarma yacha catuṣpade ||1||
To the draft-oxen ⌊do thou⌋ first, to the milch kine ⌊do thou⌋, O arundhatī́, to the non-milch cow, in order to vigor (váyas), to four-footed creatures do thou yield protection.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
शर्म यछत्व् ओषधिः सह देवीर् अरुन्धती । करत् पयस्वन्तं गोष्ठम् अयक्ष्मां उत पूरुषान् ॥२॥
śarma yachatv oṣadhiḥ saha devīr arundhatī | karat payasvantaṃ goṣṭham ayakṣmāṃ uta pūruṣān ||2||
Let the herb, the arundhatī́, allied with the gods (?), yield protection; may it make the cow-stall rich in milk, and the men (púruṣa) free from disease (yákṣma).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
विश्वरूपां सुभगाम् अछावदामि जीवलाम् । सा नो रुद्रस्यास्तां हेतिं दूरं नयतु गोभ्यः ॥३॥
viśvarūpāṃ subhagām achāvadāmi jīvalām | sā no rudrasyāstāṃ hetiṃ dūraṃ nayatu gobhyaḥ ||3||
I appeal to the all-formed, well-portioned, vivifying one; let it conduct the hurled missile of Rudra far away from our kine.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
