6.124.1
divó nú mā́m br̥ható antárikṣād apā́ṃ stokó abhy àpaptad rásena |
sám indriyéna páyasāhám agne chándobhir yajñáiḥ sukŕ̥tāṃ kr̥téna ||1||
From the sky now, from the great atmosphere, a drop of water hath fallen upon me with essence (rása); with Indra's power, with milk, O Agni, [may] I [be joined], with the meters, with offerings, with the deed of the well-doing.
6.124.2
yádi vr̥kṣā́d abhyápaptat phálaṃ tád yády antárikṣāt sá u vāyúr evá |
yátrā́spr̥kṣat tanvò yác ca vā́sasa ā́po nudantu nírr̥tiṃ parācáiḥ ||2||
If from a tree it hath fallen upon [me], that is fruit; if from the atmosphere, that is merely Vāyu; on whatever part of my body, and what part of my garment, it hath touched, let the waters thrust perdition away.
6.124.3
abhyáñjanaṃ surabhí sā́ sámr̥ddhir híraṇyaṃ várcas tád u pūtrímam evá |
sárvā pavítrā vítatā́dhy asmát tán mā́ tārīn nírr̥tir mó árātiḥ ||3||
A fragrant ointment, a success is that; gold, splendor, just purifying is that. All purifiers [are] stretched out from us; let not perdition pass that, nor the niggard.
