यत् ते देवी निरृतिर् आबबन्ध दाम ग्रीवास्व् अविमोक्यं यत् । तत् ते वि ष्याम्य् आयुषे वर्चसे बलायादोमदम् अन्नम् अद्धि प्रसूतः ॥१॥
yat te devī nirṛtir ābabandha dāma grīvāsv avimokyaṃ yat | tat te vi ṣyāmy āyuṣe varcase balāyādomadam annam addhi prasūtaḥ ||1||
The tie that the divine Nirṛti (perdition) bound upon thy neck, [and] that was unreleasable, that do I untie for thee, in order to long life (ā́yus), splendor, strength; do thou, quickened (pra-su), eat uninjurious (?) food.
namo 'stu te nirṛte tigmatejo 'yasmayān vi cṛtā bandhapāśān | yamo mahyam punar it tvām dadāti tasmai yamāya namo astu mṛtyave ||2||
Homage be to thee, O Nirṛti, thou of keen keenness; unfasten the bond-fetters of iron. Yama verily giveth thee back to me; to that Yama, to death, be homage.
Thou wast bound here to an iron post (drupadá), bridled with deaths that are a thousand. Do thou, in concord with Yama, with the Fathers, make this man ascend to the highest firmament.
संसम् इद् युवसे वृषन्न् अग्ने विश्वान्य् अर्य आ । इडस् पदे सम् इध्यसे स नो वसून्य् आ भर ॥४॥
saṃsam id yuvase vṛṣann agne viśvāny arya ā | iḍas pade sam idhyase sa no vasūny ā bhara ||4||
Thou collectest together for thyself, O Agni, bull, all things from the foe (?); thou art kindled in the track of sacrifice (íḍ); do thou bring to us good things.
