6.133.1
य इमां देवो मेखलामाबबन्ध यः संननाह य उ नो युयोज ।
यस्य देवस्य प्रशिषा चरामः स पारमिच्छात्स उ नो वि मुञ्चात् ॥ ६.१३३.१ ॥
The god who bound on this girdle, who fastened it tight, and who set us in motion — under whose command we walk, may he desire to carry us across; may he release us.
6.133.2
आहुतास्यभिहुत ऋषीणामस्यायुधम् ।
पूर्वा व्रतस्य प्राश्नती वीरघ्नी भव मेखले ॥ ६.१३३.२ ॥
You are offered, offered toward; you are the weapon of the seers. Partaking first of the vow, O girdle, become the slayer of heroes.
6.133.3
मृत्योरहं ब्रह्मचारी यदस्मि निर्याचन् भूतात्पुरुषं यमाय ।
तमहं ब्रह्मणा तपसा श्रमेणानयैनं मेखलया सिनामि ॥ ६.१३३.३ ॥
From death I am a celibate student, when I ask to draw the person out of the creature for Yama; him I bind with sacred formula, with austerity, with toil — with this girdle.
6.133.4
श्रद्धाया दुहिता तपसोऽधि जाता स्वसा ऋषीणां भूतकृतां बभूव ।
सा नो मेखले मतिमा धेहि मेधामथो नो धेहि तप इन्द्रियं च ॥ ६.१३३.४ ॥
Daughter of faith, born from austerity, she became the sister of the seers and the creators of beings. May she, O girdle, grant us understanding; grant us intelligence, and also austerity and vigour.
6.133.5
यां त्वा पूर्वे भूतकृत ऋषयः परिबेधिरे ।
सा त्वं परि ष्वजस्व मां दीर्घायुत्वाय मेखले ॥ ६.१३३.५ ॥
You whom the former seers, creators of beings, bound about — you, O girdle, embrace me for long life.
