6.12.1
pári dyā́m iva sū́ryó 'hīnāṃ jánimāgamam |
rā́trī jágad ivānyád dhaṃsā́t ténā te vāraye viṣám ||1||
I have gone about the race of snakes, as the sun about the sky, as night about living creatures other than the swan (haṅsá); thereby do I ward off thy poison.
6.12.2
yád brahmábhir yád ŕ̥ṣibhir yád deváir viditáṃ purā́ |
yád bhūtáṃ bhávyam āsanvát ténā te vāraye viṣám ||2||
What was known of old by priests (brahmán), what by seers, what by gods; what is (bhūtá), is to be, that has a mouth—therewith do I ward off thy poison.
6.12.3
mádhvā pr̥ñce nadyàḥ párvatā giráyo mádhu |
mádhu páruṣṇī śī́pālā śám āsné astu śáṃ hr̥dé ||3||
With honey I mix (pṛc) the streams; the rugged (? párvata) mountains [are] honey; honey is the Páruṣṇī, the Cī́pālā; weal be to thy mouth, weal to thy heart.
