66.

ये अन्नेषु विविध्यन्ति पात्रेशु पिबतो जनान्।

(तेषां सहस्रयोजनेऽवधानवानि तन्मसि॥)

ye anneṣu vividhyanti pātreṣu pibato janān,

(teṣāṁsahasrayojane'vadhanvāni tanmasi.)

(We keep unstringed, a thousand leagues away, the bows of those) forms of Rudra who afflict (people) through food (by way of imbalance of the humours, etc.) and (afflict) those who drink in vessels (by sips and excesses, etc.)

==========================================================================================

67.

ये पथां पथिरक्षयः ऐलबृदा यव्युधः।

(तेषां सहस्रयोजनेऽवधानवानि तन्मसि॥)

ye pathāṁ pathirakśaya ailabṛdā yavyudhaḥ,

(teṣāṁsahasrayojane'vadhanvāni tanmasi.)

(We keep unstringed, a thousand leagues away, the bows of those) who are the protectors of all the paths (of the soul, both here and hereafter), who control the supply of foodstuffs (to all beings), who fight with and drive away enemies (who stand in our way).

======================================================================================

68.

ये तीर्थानि प्रचरन्ति सृकाहस्तो निषङ्गिणः।

(तेषां सहस्रयोजनेऽवधानवानि तन्मसि॥)

ye tīrthāni pracaranti sṛkāvanto niṣaṅgiṇaḥ,

(teṣāṁsahasrayojane'vadhanvāni tanmasi.)

(We keep unstringed, a thousand leagues away, the bows of those) who stalk about (in holy places to protect them) with sharp swords and fierce instruments (in their hands).

=========================================================================================

69.

य एतावन्तश्च भूयांसश्च दिशो रुद्राः वितस्थिरे।

(तेषां सहस्रयोजनेऽवधानवानि तन्मसि॥)

ya etāvantaśca bhūyāṁsaśca diśo rudrā vitasthire,

(teṣāṁsahasrayojane'vadhanvāni tanmasi.)

We keep unstringed, a thousand leagues away, the bows of all these forms of Rudra, and many more (than already mentioned), who exist filling the quarters.

====================================================================================

70.

नमो रुद्रेभ्यो ये पृथिव्यां येऽन्तरीक्षे ये दिवि येषामन्नां वातो वर्षामिषवस्तेभ्यो दश प्राचीर्दशा दक्षिणा दश प्रतिचिर्दशोदीचिर्दशोर्ध्वास्तेभ्यो नमस्ते ना मृदयन्तु ते यां द्विष्मो यश्च नो द्विष्टि तं वो जम्भे दधामि॥

namo rudrebhyo ye pṛthivyāṁ ye'ntarikśe ye divi yeṣāmannaṁ vāto varṣamiṣavastebhyo daśa prācīrdaśa dakṣiṇā daśa pratīcīrdaśodīcīrdaśordhvāstebhyo namaste no

mṛḍayantu te yaṁ dviṣmo yaśca no dveṣṭi  taṁ vo jambhe dadhāmi.

Prostration to the Rudras (in myriad forms) who exist in earth atmosphere and heaven, and whose arrows (weapons) are food, wind and rain (respectively); prostration to these with folded hands, all the ten fingers joined forward in submission to the east, ten fingers thus to the south, ten fingers to the west, ten fingers to the north, ten fingers upwards; prostration to them. May they render us happy. Whomsoever we hate and whoever hates us, him we, having thus resorted, consign (O Rudras!) into your wide open mouths.

त्र्यंबकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनं।

उर्वरुकमिव बन्धनमृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतत्॥

tryaṁbakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam,

urvārukamiva bandhanānmṛtyor-mukśīya mā'mṛtāt.

We worship the Three-Eyed One, fragrant (with energy), increasing strength and prosperity (of those who adore Him); may I (we) be freed from death for (the sake of) immortality, as a cucumber is freed from its hold (of bondage to the creeper).
