Anuvaka 6

1a For each he offers on one potsherd, and one over.     b As many as we are of the house, to them have I made prosperity.     c Thou art the protection of cattle, the protection of the sacrifice; give     me protection.     d Rudra alone yieldeth to no second.     e The mole is thy beast, O Rudra; rejoice in it.     f This is thy portion, O Rudra, with thy sister Ambika; rejoice in it.     g (Give) medicine for ox, for horse, for man,     And medicine for us, medicine     That it be rich in healing,     Good [1] for ram and sheep.     h We have appeased, O lady, Rudra,     The god Tryambaka;     That he may make us prosperous,     That he may increase our wealth,     That he may make us rich in cattle,     That he may embolden us.     i To Tryambaka we make offering,     The fragrant, increaser of prosperity;     Like a cucumber from its stem,     From death may I be loosened, not from immortality.     k This is thy portion, O Rudra; rejoice in it; with it for food, do thou go away beyond the Mujavants.     l With unstrung bow, thy club in thy hand, clad in skins.
