सूक्त १६१

मुञ्चामि त्वा हविषा जीवनाय कमज्ञातयक्ष्मादुत राजयक्ष्मात्। ग्राहिर्जग्राह यदि वैतदेनं तस्या इन्द्राग्नी प्र मुमुक्तमेनम्॥

muñcāmi tvā haviṣā jīvanāya kamajñātayakṣmāduta rājayakṣmāt | grāhirjagrāha yadi vaitadenaṁ tasyā indrāgnī pra mumuktamenam ||

FOR life I set thee free by this oblation from the unknown decline and from Consumption; Or, if the grasping demon have possessed him, free him from her, O Indra, thou and Agni.

यदि क्षितायुर्यदि वा परेतो यदि मृत्योरन्तिकं नीत एव। तमा हरामि निरृतेरुपस्थादस्पार्षमेनं शतशारदाय॥

yadi kṣitāyuryadi vā pareto yadi mṛtyorantikaṁ nīta eva | tamā harāmi nirṛterupasthādaspārṣamenaṁ śataśāradāya ||

Be his days ended, be he now departed, be he brought very near to death already, Out of Destruction's lap again I bring him, save him for life to last a hundred autumns.

सहस्राक्षेण शतशारदेन शतायुषा हविषाहार्षमेनम्। शतं यथेमं शरदो नयातीन्द्रो विश्वस्य दुरितस्य पारम्॥

sahasrākṣeṇa śataśāradena śatāyuṣā haviṣāhārṣamenam | śataṁ yathemaṁ śarado nayātīndro viśvasya duritasya pāram ||

With hundred-eyed oblation, hundred-autumned, bringing a hundred lives, have I restored him, That Indra for a hundred years may lead him safe to the farther shore of all misfortune.

शतं जीव शरदो वर्धमानः शतं हेमन्ताञ्छतमु वसन्तान्। शतमिन्द्राग्नी सविता बृहस्पतिः शतायुषा हविषेमं पुनर्दुः॥

śataṁ jīva śarado vardhamānaḥ śataṁ hemantāñchatamu vasantān | śatamindrāgnī savitā bṛhaspatiḥ śatāyuṣā haviṣemaṁ punarduḥ ||

Live, waxing in thy strength, a hundred autumns, live through a hundred springs, a hundred winters. Through hundred-lived oblation Indra, Agni, Brhaspati, Savitar yield him for a hundred!

आहार्षं त्वाविदं त्वा पुनरागाः पुनर्नव। सर्वाङ्ग सर्वं ते चक्षुः सर्वमायुश्च तेऽविदम्॥

āhārṣaṁ tvāvidaṁ tvā punarāgāḥ punarnava | sarvāṅga sarvaṁ te cakṣuḥ sarvamāyuśca te'vidam ||

So have I found and rescued thee thou hast returned with youth renewed. Whole in thy members! I have found thy sight and all thy life for thee.
