7.115.1
prá patetáḥ pāpi lakṣmi náśyetáḥ prā́mútaḥ pata |
ayasmáyenāṅkéna dviṣaté tvā́ sajāmasi ||1||
Fly forth from here, O evil sign (lakṣmī́); disappear from here; fly forth from yonder; with a hook of metal (ayasmáya) we attach thee to him that hates [us].
7.115.2
yā́ mā lakṣmī́ḥ patayālū́r ájuṣṭābhicaskánda vándaneva vr̥kṣám |
anyátrāsmát savitas tā́m itó dhā híraṇyahasto vásu no rárāṇaḥ ||2||
The unenjoyable flying sign that hath mounted me, as a creeper a tree—that, O Savitar, mayest thou put hence elsewhere than on us, being golden-handed, granting good to us.
7.115.3
ékaśataṃ lakṣmyò mártyasya sākáṃ tanvā̀ janúṣó 'dhi jātā́ḥ |
tā́sāṃ pā́piṣṭhā nír itáḥ prá hiṇmaḥ śivā́ asmábhyaṃ jātavedo níyacha ||3||
A hundred and one [are] the signs of a mortal, born from his birth together with his body; the worst of these we send forth out from here; to us, O Jātavedas, confirm propitious ones.
7.115.4
etā́ enā vyā́karaṃ khilé gā́ víṣṭhitā iva |
rámantāṃ púṇyā lakṣmī́r yā́ḥ pāpī́s tā́ anīnaśam ||4||
These same have I separated, like kine scattered on a barren (khilá); let the good (púṇya) signs stay; those that are evil have I made disappear.
