19.30.1
यत्ते दर्भ जरामृत्यु शतं वर्मसु वर्म ते ।
तेनेमं वर्मिणं कृत्वा सपत्नां जहि वीर्यैः ॥ १९.३०.१ ॥
O darbha-grass, of your hundred armours against old age and death, you are the armour among armours. With that, make this man armoured and strike down his rivals with your valour.

शतं ते दर्भ वर्माणि सहस्रं वीर्याणि ते ।
तमस्मै विश्वे त्वां देवा जरसे भर्तवा अदुः ॥ १९.३०.२ ॥
O darbha-grass, you have a hundred armours and a thousand powers. All the gods gave you to this man to bear, until old age.

त्वामाहुर्देववर्म त्वां दर्भ ब्रह्मणस्पतिम् ।
त्वामिन्द्रस्याहुर्वर्म त्वं राष्ट्राणि रक्षसि ॥ १९.३०.३ ॥
O darbha-grass, they call you the armour of the gods; O darbha, they call you Brahmaṇaspati. They call you the armour of Indra; you protect the realms.

सपत्नक्षयणं दर्भ द्विषतस्तपनं हृदः ।
मणिं क्षत्रस्य वर्धनं तनूपानं कृणोमि ते ॥ १९.३०.४ ॥
O darbha-grass, you destroy rivals and scorch the hearts of the hostile. As a jewel that increases the warrior and protects the body, I make this for you.
19.30.5
यत्समुद्रो अभ्यक्रन्दत्पर्जन्यो विद्युता सह ।
ततो हिरण्ययो बिन्दुस्ततो दर्भो अजायत ॥ १९.३०.५ ॥
When the ocean roared and the rain-cloud joined with lightning, from that came a golden drop; from that the darbha-grass was born.
