3.11.1
मुञ्चामि त्वा हविषा जीवनाय कमज्ञातयक्ष्मादुत राजयक्ष्मात् ।
ग्राहिर्जग्राह यद्येतदेनं तस्या इन्द्राग्नी प्र मुमुक्तमेनम् ॥ ३.११.१ ॥
I release you with oblation for life, from unknown consumption and also from royal consumption. If the Seizer has seized him, may Indra and Agni fully release him from her.
3.11.2
यदि क्षितायुर्यदि वा परेतो यदि मृत्योरन्तिकमेव ।
तमा हरामि निर्ऋतेरुपस्थादस्पार्शमेनं शतशारदाय ॥ ३.११.२ ॥
Whether his life-span has waned, whether he has gone far away, or whether he is indeed near to death, I bring him back from the lap of Nirṛti; I have touched him for a hundred autumns.
3.11.3
सहस्राक्षेण शतवीर्येण शतायुषा हविषाहार्षमेनम् ।
इन्द्रो यथैनं शरदो नयात्यति विश्वस्य दुरितस्य पारम् ॥ ३.११.३ ॥
With the thousand-eyed, hundred-powered, hundred-lived oblation I have brought him here; as Indra leads him through the autumns to the far shore beyond all misfortune.
3.11.4
शतं जीव शरदो वर्धमानः शतं हेमन्तान् छतमु वसन्तान् ।
शतं ते इन्द्रो अग्निः सविता बृहस्पतिः शतायुषा हविषाहार्षमेनम् ॥ ३.११.४ ॥
Live a hundred autumns, growing; a hundred winters, and a hundred springs. For you may Indra, Agni, Savitṛ and Bṛhaspati be; with the hundred-life oblation I have brought him here.
3.11.5
प्र विशतं प्राणापानावनड्वाहाविव व्रजम् ।
व्यन्ये यन्तु मृत्यवो यान् आहुरितरान् छतम् ॥ ३.११.५ ॥
May the in-breath and out-breath enter him like two draught-oxen into the pen; may the other deaths go apart — those others, which they call a hundred.
3.11.6
इहैव स्तं प्राणापानौ माप गातमितो युवम् ।
शरीरमस्याङ्गानि जरसे वहतं पुनः ॥ ३.११.६ ॥
Stay right here, in-breath and out-breath; do not go away from here, you two. Bear again his body and limbs until old age.
3.11.7
जरायै त्वा परि ददामि जरायै नि धुवामि त्वा ।
जरा त्वा भद्रा नेष्ट व्यन्ये यन्तु मृत्यवो यान् आहुरितरान् छतम् ॥ ३.११.७ ॥
I give you over to old age; for old age I shake you down. May auspicious old age lead you; may the other deaths go away apart — those they call the hundred others.
3.11.8
अभि त्वा जरिमाहित गामुक्षणमिव रज्ज्वा ।
यस्त्वा मृत्युरभ्यधत्त जायमानं सुपाशया ।
तं ते सत्यस्य हस्ताभ्यामुदमुञ्चद्बृहस्पतिः ॥ ३.११.८ ॥
Old age has been placed upon you, as one binds an ox with a rope. The death that laid hold of you at birth with a good noose — from it Bṛhaspati released you with the two hands of truth.
