6.50.1
हतं तर्दं समङ्कमाखुमश्विना छिन्तं शिरो अपि पृष्टीः शृणीतम् ।
यवान् नेददान् अपि नह्यतं मुखमथाभयं कृणुतं धान्याय ॥ ६.५०.१ ॥
O Aśvins, smite the tarda, the samaṅka and the mole; cut off their heads and crush their backs. Bind those that eat near the barley, close their mouths, and make things fearless for the grain.
6.50.2
तर्द है पतङ्ग है जभ्य हा उपक्वस ।
ब्रह्मेवासंस्थितं हविरनदन्त इमान् यवान् अहिंसन्तो अपोदित ॥ ६.५०.२ ॥
The tarda, the pataṅga, the jabhyas and the upakvasas — these have been driven away, not eating the oblation set down like the brahman, not eating these barleys, not harming them.
6.50.3
तर्दापते वघापते तृष्टजम्भा आ शृणोत मे ।
य आरण्या व्यद्वरा ये के च स्थ व्यद्वरास्तान्त्सर्वान् जम्भयामसि ॥ ६.५०.३ ॥
O lord of the tarda, O lord of the vagha, you sharp-jawed ones, hear me. Whoever are forest-dwelling and gape-mouthed, whoever you are that gape-mouthed — all of them we crush.
