1.12.1
jarāyujáḥ prathamá usríyo vŕ̥ṣā vātābhrajā́ stanáyann eti vr̥ṣṭyā́ |
sá no mr̥ḍāti tanvà r̥jugó ruján yá ékam ójas tredhā́ vicakramé ||1||
First born of the afterbirth, the ruddy (usríya) bull, born of wind and cloud (?), goes thundering with rain; may he be merciful to our body, going straight on, breaking; he who, one force, hath stridden out threefold.
1.12.2
áṅgeaṅge śocíṣā śiśriyāṇáṃ namasyántas tvā havíṣā vidhema |
aṅkā́nt samaṅkā́n havíṣā vidhema yó ágrabhīt párvāsyā grábhītā ||2||
Thee, lurking (çri) in each limb with burning (çocís), we, paying homage, would worship (vidh) with oblation; we would worship with oblation the hooks, the grapples, [him] who, a seizer, hath seized this man's joints.
1.12.3
muñcá śīrṣaktyā́ utá kāsá enaṃ páruṣparur āvivéśā yó asya |
yó abhrajā́ vātajā́ yáś ca śúṣmo vánaspátīnt sacatāṃ párvatāṃś ca ||3||
Release thou him from headache and from cough—whoever hath entered each joint of him; the blast (? çúṣma) that is cloud-born and that is wind-born, let it attach itself to forest-trees (vánaspáti) and mountains.
1.12.4
śáṃ me párasmai gā́trāya śám astv ávarāya me |
śáṃ me catúrbhyo áṅgebhyaḥ śám astu tanvè máma ||4||
Weal [be] to my upper member (gā́tra), weal be to my lower, weal to my four limbs; weal be to my body.
