4.7.139Sukta 139 – Charm to arouse the passionate love of a Woman<br />

1. Clinging to the ground thou didst grow, (O plant), that producest bliss for me; a hundred branches extend from<br />

thee, three and thirty grow down from thee: with this plant of a thousand leaves thy heart do I parch.<br />

2. Thy heart shall parch (with love) for me, and thy mouth shall parch (with love for me)! Languish, moreover, with<br />

love for me, with parched mouth pass thy days!<br />

3. Thou that causest affection, kindlest (love), brown, lovely (plant), draw (us) together; draw together yonder<br />

woman and myself, our hearts make the same!<br />

4. As the mouth of him that hath not drunk dries tip, thus languish thou with love for me, with parched mouth pass<br />

thy days!<br />

5. As the Ichneumon tears the serpent, and joins him together again, thus, O potent (plant), join together what<br />

hath been torn by love!<br />

4.8 Kandha 8<br />

This Kandha (Chapter) contains 20 Suktas (Hymns):<br />

4.8.1 Sukta 1 – Prayer for Exemption from the dangers of Death<br />

1. To the 'Ender,' to Death be reverence! May thy in-breathing and thy out-breathing remain here! United here<br />

with (life's) spirit this man shall be, sharing in the sun, in the world of immortality (amrita)!<br />

2. Bhaga has raised him up, Soma with his rays (has raised) him up, the Maruts, the gods, (have raised) him up,<br />

Indra and Agni (have raised) him up unto well-being.<br />

3. Here (shall be) thy (life's) spirit, here thy inbreathing, here thy life, here thy mind! We rescue thee from the toils<br />

of Nirriti (destruction) by means of our divine utterance.<br />

4. Rise up hence, O man! Casting off the footshackles of death, do not sink down! Be not cut off from this world,<br />

from the sight of Agni and the sun!<br />

5. May the wind (Mâtarisvan) purify you. May the waters shower thee with Amrita (ambrosia) bringing you<br />

immortality. May the warmth of the sun shine on your body. May Death pity thee (spare thee) so that you may<br />

live long.<br />

6. May you rise and not fall. O man! May you be granted long life. May you achieve success in your occupation.<br />

May you ride the imperishable chariot of happiness. May you grow in wisdom with the years.<br />

7. Thy mind shall not go thither, shall not disappear! Do not become heedless of the living, do not follow the<br />
