इ॒मां ख॑ना॒म्योष॑धिं वी॒रुधं॒ बल॑वत्तमाम् यया॑ स॒पत्नीं॒ बाध॑ते॒ यया॑ संवि॒न्दते॒ पति॑म्
"FROM out the earth I dig this plant, a herb of most effectual power, Wherewith one quells the rival wife and gains the husband for oneself."
उत्ता॑नपर्णे॒ सुभ॑गे॒ देव॑जूते॒ सह॑स्वति स॒पत्नीं॑ मे॒ परा॑ धम॒ पतिं॑ मे॒ केव॑लं कुरु
"Auspicious, with expanded leaves, sent by the Gods, victorious plant, Blow thou the rival wife away, and make my husband only mine."
उत्त॑रा॒हमु॑त्तर॒ उत्त॒रेदुत्त॑राभ्यः अथा॑ स॒पत्नी॒ या ममाध॑रा॒ साध॑राभ्यः
"Stronger am I, O Stronger One, yea, mightier than the mightier; And she who is my rival wife is lower than the lowest dames."
न॒ह्य॑स्या॒ नाम॑ गृ॒भ्णामि॒ नो अ॒स्मिन्र॑मते॒ जने॑ परा॑मे॒व प॑रा॒वतं॑ स॒पत्नीं॑ गमयामसि
"Her very name I utter not: she takes no pleasure in this man. Far into distance most remote drive we the rival wife away."
अ॒हम॑स्मि॒ सह॑मा॒नाथ॒ त्वम॑सि सास॒हिः उ॒भे सह॑स्वती भू॒त्वी स॒पत्नीं॑ मे सहावहै
"I am the conqueror, and thou, thou also act victorious: As victory attends us both we will subdue my fellow-wife."
उप॑ तेऽधां॒ सह॑मानाम॒भि त्वा॑धां॒ सही॑यसा मामनु॒ प्र ते॒ मनो॑ व॒त्सं गौरि॑व धावतु प॒था वारि॑व धावतु
"I have gained thee for vanquisher, have grasped thee with a stronger spell. As a cow hastens to her calf, so let thy spirit speed te me, hasten like water on its way."
