यां कल्पयन्ति वहतौ वधूमिव विश्वरूपां हस्तकृतां चिकित्सवः ।
सारादेत्वप नुदाम एनाम् ॥ १०.१.१ ॥
That which healers adorn like a bride in the wedding procession, of every form, made by hand — let her go away from the essence; we drive her off.
10.1.2
शीर्षण्वती नस्वती कर्णिणी कृत्याकृता संभृता विश्वरूपा ।
सारादेत्वप नुदाम एनाम् ॥ १०.१.२ ॥
Having heads, having noses, having ears, made by sorcery, assembled, of all forms — let her go away from the essence; we drive her off.

शूद्रकृता राजकृता स्त्रीकृता ब्रह्मभिः कृता ।
जाया पत्या नुत्तेव कर्तारं बन्ध्वृच्छतु ॥ १०.१.३ ॥
Made by a śūdra, made by a king, made by a woman, made by the spells of brahmins — like a wife driven out by her husband, let it return to its maker.
10.1.4
अनयाहमोषध्या सर्वाः कृत्या अदूदुषम् ।
यां क्षेत्रे चक्रुर्यां गोषु यां वा ते पुरुषेषु ॥ १०.१.४ ॥

अघमस्त्वघकृते शपथः शपथीयते ।
प्रत्यक्प्रतिप्रहिण्मो यथा कृत्याकृतं हनत् ॥ १०.१.५ ॥
Let evil fall on the evil-doer; let the curse be cursed back upon the one who curses. We send it back so that the maker of the sorcery himself may be struck.

प्रतीचीन आङ्गिरसोऽध्यक्षो नः पुरोहितः ।
प्रतीचीः कृत्या आकृत्यामून् कृत्याकृतो जहि ॥ १०.१.६ ॥
May Āṅgirasa, our overseer and household priest, strike down the turned-back sorceries — those who made the sorceries.
10.1.7
यस्त्वोवाच परेहीति प्रतिकूलमुदाय्यम् ।
तं कृत्येऽभिनिवर्तस्व मास्मान् इछो अनागसः ॥ १०.१.७ ॥
Whoever said to you, 'Go forward,' speaking adversely, turn back upon him, O kṛtyā; do not aim at us, who are blameless.
10.1.8
यस्ते परूंषि संदधौ रथस्येव र्भुर्धिया ।
तं गच्छ तत्र तेऽयनमज्ञातस्तेऽयं जनः ॥ १०.१.८ ॥
He who fitted your joints together with skill, as a chariot's, go to him; there is your path; this man is unknown to you.
10.1.9
ये त्वा कृत्वालेभिरे विद्वला अभिचारिणः ।
शंभ्विदं कृत्यादूषणं प्रतिवर्त्म पुनःसरं तेन त्वा स्नपयामसि ॥ १०.१.९ ॥
Those cunning sorcerers who fashioned and seized you — this auspicious antidote to sorcery is the counter-path, the way back; with it we bathe you.
10.1.10
यद्दुर्भगां प्रस्नपितां मृतवत्सामुपेयिम ।
अपैतु सर्वं मत्पापं द्रविणं मोप तिष्ठतु ॥ १०.१.१० ॥
If we have approached an ill-fated, bathed woman whose children have died, let all sin depart from me; and let wealth not stand near me.

यत्ते पितृभ्यो ददतो यज्ञे वा नाम जगृहुः ।
संदेश्यात्सर्वस्मात्पापादिमा मुञ्चन्तु त्वौषधीः ॥ १०.१.११ ॥
If you took the names of the fathers while giving to them or in the sacrifice, may these herbs free you from every bound-up sin (saṃdeśya).

मुञ्चन्तु त्वा वीरुधो वीर्येण ब्रह्मणा ऋग्भिः पयसा ऋषीणाम् ॥ १०.१.१२ ॥
From sin against the gods, from taking the names of the fathers, from the bond (saṃdeśya), and from what is done in opposition — may the creepers free you with vigour, with sacred formula, with the verses and with the milk of the seers.
10.1.13
यथा वातश्च्यावयति भूम्या रेणुमन्तरिक्षाच्चाभ्रम् ।
एवा मत्सर्वं दुर्भूतं ब्रह्मनुत्तमपायति ॥ १०.१.१३ ॥
As the wind drives dust from the earth and cloud from the atmosphere, so, driven by the sacred word, it drives away from me all the ill-born evil.
10.1.14
अप क्राम नानदती विनद्धा गर्दभीव ।
कर्तॄन् नक्षस्वेतो नुत्ता ब्रह्मणा वीर्यावता ॥ १०.१.१४ ॥
Go away, roaring and bound like a she-ass! Driven from here by the mighty power of the sacred word, reach the makers (of the rite).

तेनाभि याहि भञ्जत्यनस्वतीव वाहिनी विश्वरूपा कुरूतिनी ॥ १०.१.१५ ॥
O kṛtyā, this is the path; along it we lead you. You, who were sent against us, we send forth back to you. Come by that very path, breaking through like a chariotless army, you of every form, you who scatter and destroy.
10.1.16
पराक्ते ज्योतिरपथं ते अर्वागन्यत्रास्मदयना कृणुष्व ।
परेणेहि नवतिं नाव्या अति दुर्गाः स्रोत्या मा क्षणिष्ठाः परेहि ॥ १०.१.१६ ॥
Far off is your light, not here is your path. Away from us, elsewhere make your own way. Crossing the difficult streams by ninety boats, go far away, do not stumble.
10.1.17
वात इव वृक्षान् नि मृणीहि पादय मा गामश्वं पुरुषमुच्छिष एषाम् ।
कर्तॄन् निवृत्येतः कृत्येऽप्रजास्त्वाय बोधय ॥ १०.१.१७ ॥
Like wind upon trees, crush them and bring them down. Leave no cow, horse or man of theirs; let none of them remain. O kṛtyā, turning back from here, make the makers aware that they are childless.
10.1.18
यां ते बर्हिषि यां श्मशाने क्षेत्रे कृत्यां वलगं वा निचख्नुः ।
अग्नौ वा त्वा गार्हपत्येऽभिचेरुः पाकं सन्तं धीरतरा अनागसम् ॥ १०.१.१८ ॥
The sorcery buried for you on the sacred grass, at the cremation ground, or in the field, the snare called valaga, or the curse cast upon you in the householder's fire — the wise ones have worked these against you, blameless and ripe as you are, to destroy you.
10.1.19
उपाहृतमनुबुद्धं निखातं वैरं त्सार्यन्वविदाम कर्त्रम् ।
तदेतु यत आभृतं तत्राश्व इव वि वर्ततां हन्तु कृत्याकृतः प्रजाम् ॥ १०.१.१९ ॥
The hostile charm that was brought, discovered and buried — the cutting blade we have found again — let it go back to where it was brought from; turning like a horse, let it strike the offspring of the one who made the sorcery.
10.1.20
स्वायसा असयः सन्ति नो गृहे विद्मा ते कृत्ये यतिधा परूंषि ।
उत्तिष्ठैव परेहीतोऽज्ञाते किमिहेच्छसि ॥ १०.१.२० ॥
In our house are blades of good iron; O sorcery, we know in how many ways your joints can be cut. Rise up, go away, leave from here — unknown one, what do you desire here?
10.1.21
ग्रीवास्ते कृत्ये पादौ चापि कर्त्स्यामि निर्द्रव ।
इन्द्राग्नी अस्मान् रक्षतां यौ प्रजानां प्रजावती ॥ १०.१.२१ ॥
O sorcery, your neck and your feet too I will cut off; run away. May Indra and Agni protect us, who make the peoples rich in offspring.
10.1.22
सोमो राजाधिपा मृडिता च भूतस्य नः पतयो मृडयन्तु ॥ १०.१.२२ ॥
King Soma, overlord and gracious one, and the lords of our creatures — may they be gracious to us.
10.1.23
भवाशर्वावस्यतां पापकृते कृत्याकृते ।
दुष्कृते विद्युतं देवहेतिम् ॥ १०.१.२३ ॥
May Bhava and Śarva take aim at the evildoer and the one who made the sorcery; upon the wrongdoer let them hurl lightning and the weapon of the gods.
10.1.24
यद्येयथ द्विपदी चतुष्पदी कृत्याकृता संभृता विश्वरूपा ।
सेतोऽष्टापदी भूत्वा पुनः परेहि दुछुने ॥ १०.१.२४ ॥
If you are two-footed or four-footed, made as a sorcerous rite and assembled in every form, then, bound and eight-footed, go back again, O ill-fated one.
10.1.25
अभ्यक्ताक्ता स्वरंकृता सर्वं भरन्ती दुरितं परेहि ।
जानीहि कृत्ये कर्तारं दुहितेव पितरं स्वम् ॥ १०.१.२५ ॥
Anointed and made with a rattling sound, carrying all misfortune, go forth. O sorcerous rite, know the one who made you, as a daughter knows her own father.
10.1.26
परेहि कृत्ये मा तिष्ठो विद्धस्येव पदं नय ।
मृगः स मृगयुस्त्वं न त्वा निकर्तुमर्हति ॥ १०.१.२६ ॥
O sorcerous rite, go forth, do not stand here. Take your path like the track of one who is wounded. He is the deer, you are the hunter; he is not able to cut you down.
10.1.27
उत हन्ति पूर्वासिनं प्रत्यादायापर इष्वा ।
उत पूर्वस्य निघ्नतो नि हन्त्यपरः प्रति ॥ १०.१.२७ ॥
And another, taking back his arrow, strikes him who sat before. And the other, turning back upon the one who first struck, brings him down.
10.1.28
एतद्धि शृणु मे वचोऽथेहि यत एयथ ।
यस्त्वा चकार तं प्रति ॥ १०.१.२८ ॥
Therefore hear this word of mine, and then return to where you came from, back toward the one who made you.
10.1.29
अनागोहत्या वै भीमा कृत्ये मा नो गामश्वं पुरुषं वधीः ।
यत्रयत्रासि निहिता ततस्त्वोत्थापयामसि पर्णाल्लघीयसी भव ॥ १०.१.२९ ॥
O terrible sorcerous rite, the killing of the innocent is indeed a thing; do not strike our cow, horse, or man. Wherever you are placed, from there we raise you up; become lighter than a leaf.
10.1.30
यदि स्थ तमसावृता जालेनभिहिता इव ।
सर्वाः संलुप्येतः कृत्याः पुनः कर्त्रे प्र हिण्मसि ॥ १०.१.३० ॥
If you are shrouded in darkness, caught as if in a net, then, O sorcery-spirits, may you all be cut off from here; we send you back to the one who made you.
10.1.31
कृत्याकृतो वलगिनोऽभिनिष्कारिणः प्रजाम् ।
मृणीहि कृत्ये मोच्छिषोऽमून् कृत्याकृतो जहि ॥ १०.१.३१ ॥
Makers of sorcery are crooked; they attack and destroy the people. O sorcery-spirit, spare them, leave nothing behind; strike down those makers of sorcery.
10.1.32
यथा सूर्यो मुच्यते तमसस्परि रात्रिं जहात्युषसश्च केतून् ।
एवाहं सर्वं दुर्भूतं कर्त्रं कृत्याकृता कृतं हस्तीव रजो दुरितं जहामि ॥ १०.१.३२ ॥
As the sun is released from darkness and leaves behind the night and the rays of dawn, so I cast off all the ill-born thing made by sorcery, the doer's deed, and misfortune, shaking them off like an elephant shakes off dust.
