Sukta 155

अरायि काणे विकटे गिरिं गच्छ सदान्वे। शिरिम्बिठस्य सत्वभिस्तेभिष्ट्वा चातयामसि॥

arāyi kāṇe vikaṭe giriṁ gaccha sadānve | śirimbiṭhasya satvabhistebhiṣṭvā cātayāmasi ||

ARAYI, one-eyed limping hag, fly, ever-screeching, to the hill. We frighten thee away with these, the heroes of Sirimbitha.

चत्तो इतश्चत्तामुतः सर्वा भ्रूणान्यारुषी। अराय्यं ब्रह्मणस्पते तीक्ष्णशृण्गोदृषन्निहि॥

catto itaścattāmutaḥ sarvā bhrūṇānyāruṣī | arāyyaṁ brahmaṇaspate tīkṣṇaśṛṇgodṛṣannihi ||

Scared from this place and that is she, destroyer of each germ unborn. Go, sharp-horned Brahmanaspti and drive Arayi far away.

अदो यद्दारु प्लवते सिन्धोः पारे अपूरुषम्। तदा रभस्व दुर्हणो तेन गच्छ परस्तरम्॥

ado yaddāru plavate sindhoḥ pāre apūruṣam | tadā rabhasva durhaṇo tena gaccha parastaram ||

Yon log that floats without a man to guide it on the river's edge,- Seize it, thou thing with hideous jaws, and go thou far away thereon.

यद्ध प्राचीरजगन्तोरो मण्डूरधाणिकीः। हता इन्द्रस्य शत्रवः सर्वे बुद्बुदयाशवः॥

yaddha prācīrajagantoro maṇḍūradhāṇikīḥ | hatā indrasya śatravaḥ sarve budbudayāśavaḥ ||

When, foul with secret stain and spot, ye hastened onward to the breast, All Indra's enemies were slain and passed away like froth and foam.

परीमे गामनेषत पर्यग्निमहृषत। देवेष्वक्रत श्रवः क इमाँ आ दधर्षति॥

parīme gāmaneṣata paryagnimahṛṣata | deveṣvakrata śravaḥ ka imā ā dadharṣati ||

These men have led about the cow, have duly carried Agni round, And raised their glory tg the Gods. Who will attack them with success?
