मनै॒ नु ब॒भ्रूणा॑म॒हं श॒तं धामा॑नि स॒प्त च॑ ॥
I would now know the hundred and seven abodes of the tawny healing plants that were born first for the gods, three ages ago.
10.97.2
श॒तं वो॑ अम्ब॒ धामा॑नि स॒हस्र॑मु॒त वो॒ रुहः॑ ।
अधा॑ शतक्रत्वो यू॒यमि॒मं मे॑ अग॒दं कृ॑त ॥
O Mother, you have a hundred abodes and a thousand shoots as well; so, O possessors of a hundred powers, make for me this remedy.
10.97.3
ओष॑धीः॒ प्रति॑ मोदध्वं॒ पुष्प॑वतीः प्र॒सूव॑रीः ।
अश्वा॑ इव स॒जित्व॑रीर्वी॒रुधः॑ पारयि॒ष्ण्वः॑ ॥
O healing plants, rejoice, you who are flowering and fruit-bearing, victorious like mares, creepers, helpers in crossing over.
10.97.4
ओष॑धी॒रिति॑ मातर॒स्तद्वो॑ देवी॒रुप॑ ब्रुवे ।
स॒नेय॒मश्वं॒ गां वास॑ आ॒त्मानं॒ तव॑ पूरुष ॥
O healing plants, thus, O mothers, O goddesses, near to you I speak: may I win a horse, a cow, garments, and my own self; O man, this is yours.
10.97.5
अ॒श्व॒त्थे वो॑ नि॒षद॑नं प॒र्णे वो॑ वस॒तिष्कृ॒ता ।
गो॒भाज॒ इत्किला॑सथ॒ यत्स॒नव॑थ॒ पूरु॑षम् ॥
Your resting place is on the fig tree; your dwelling is made in the leaf. O sharers of cattle, indeed you surely do so when you help a man.
10.97.6
यत्रौष॑धीः स॒मग्म॑त॒ राजा॑नः॒ समि॑ताविव ।
विप्रः॒ स उ॑च्यते भि॒षग्र॑क्षो॒हामी॑व॒चात॑नः ॥
Where the healing plants gather together, as kings in an assembly, there the wise one is called the physician, the slayer of demons, who drives away sickness.
10.97.7
अ॒श्वा॒व॒तीं सो॑माव॒तीमू॒र्जय॑न्ती॒मुदो॑जसम् ।
आवि॑त्सि॒ सर्वा॒ ओष॑धीर॒स्मा अ॑रि॒ष्टता॑तये ॥
Rich in horses, rich in soma, giving strength, full of sap—all these healing plants I have obtained for this man's freedom from harm.
10.97.8
उच्छुष्मा॒ ओष॑धीनां॒ गावो॑ गो॒ष्ठादि॑वेरते ।
धनं॑ सनि॒ष्यन्ती॑नामा॒त्मानं॒ तव॑ पूरुष ॥
The vigors of the healing plants rise up, as cows rush forth from the cowpen. The wealth of the plants about to bestow wealth; and your own life-breath, O man.
10.97.9
इष्कृ॑ति॒र्नाम॑ वो मा॒ताथो॑ यू॒यं स्थ॒ निष्कृ॑तीः ।
सी॒राः प॑त॒त्रिणी॑ स्थन॒ यदा॒मय॑ति॒ निष्कृ॑थ ॥
'Iṣkṛti' is your name, and your mother too; and then you yourselves are remedies. O needle-like, winged healing plants, you are so—when disease afflicts, drive it out.
10.97.10
अति॒ विश्वाः॑ परि॒ष्ठाः स्ते॒न इ॑व व्र॒जम॑क्रमुः ।
ओष॑धीः॒ प्राचु॑च्यवु॒र्यत्किं च॑ त॒न्वो॑ रपः॑ ॥
All the encircling ones slipped into the pen like a thief; the healing plants have shaken off whatever defilement of the body there is.
10.97.11
यदि॒मा वा॒जय॑न्न॒हमोष॑धी॒र्हस्त॑ आद॒धे ।
आ॒त्मा यक्ष्म॑स्य नश्यति पु॒रा जी॑व॒गृभो॑ यथा ॥
When I take these healing plants in my hand and praise them, the life-breath of the wasting disease perishes—as if before one who holds onto life.
10.97.12
यस्यौ॑षधीः प्र॒सर्प॒थाङ्ग॑मङ्गं॒ परु॑ष्परुः ।
ततो॒ यक्ष्मं॒ वि बा॑धध्व उ॒ग्रो म॑ध्यम॒शीरि॑व ॥
O healing plants, from whose every limb and every joint you creep forth and spread, from there drive away the wasting disease—fierce, like the middle finger, standing in the midst.
10.97.13
सा॒कं य॑क्ष्म॒ प्र प॑त॒ चाषे॑ण किकिदी॒विना॑ ।
सा॒कं वात॑स्य॒ ध्राज्या॑ सा॒कं न॑श्य नि॒हाक॑या ॥
O wasting-disease, flee away together with the cāṣa-bird and the kikidīvi-bird. Perish together with the force of the wind; vanish together with the nihākā-plant.
10.97.14
अ॒न्या वो॑ अ॒न्याम॑वतु अ॒न्यान्यस्या॒ उपा॑वत ।
ताः सर्वाः॑ संविदा॒ना इ॒दं मे॒ प्राव॑ता॒ वचः॑ ॥
One of you may protect, and another may protect another; one going near another may protect it. May they all, agreeing together, protect this word of mine.

याः फ॒लिनी॒र्या अ॑फ॒ला अ॑पु॒ष्पा याश्च॑ पु॒ष्पिणीः॑ ।
बृह॒स्पति॑प्रसूता॒स्ता नो॑ मुञ्च॒न्त्वंह॑सः ॥
Those herbs that bear fruit, those that bear none, those without flowers, and those with flowers — may they, sent forth by Bṛhaspati, release us from sin.

मु॒ञ्चन्तु॑ मा शप॒थ्या॑दथो॑ वरु॒ण्या॑दु॒त ।
अथो॑ य॒मस्य॒ पड्बी॑शा॒त्सर्व॑स्माद्देवकिल्बि॒षात् ॥
May they release me from the curse of the oath, and also from the curse of Varuṇa. And from the noose of Yama, and from every offence against the gods.
10.97.17
अ॒व॒पत॑न्तीरवदन्दि॒व ओष॑धय॒स्परि॑ ।
यं जी॒वम॒श्नवा॑महै॒ न स रि॑ष्याति॒ पूरु॑षः ॥
The herbs, descending from heaven, spoke all around: 'That living being whom we obtain — that person shall not perish.'
10.97.18
या ओष॑धीः॒ सोम॑राज्ञीर्ब॒ह्वीः श॒तवि॑चक्षणाः ।
तासां॒ त्वम॑स्युत्त॒मारं॒ कामा॑य॒ शं हृ॒दे ॥
Of those herbs that have Soma as their king, many, with a hundred eyes — of them you are the best, for desire and for gladness of the heart.
10.97.19

सर्वाः॑ सं॒गत्य॑ वीरुधो अ॒स्यै सं द॑त्त वी॒र्य॑म् ॥
All the herbs that hear here and those that have come from afar, O creepers, gathered together, bestow vigor upon her.
10.97.22
ओष॑धयः॒ सं व॑दन्ते॒ सोमे॑न स॒ह राज्ञा॑ ।
यस्मै॑ कृ॒णोति॑ ब्राह्म॒णस्तं रा॑जन्पारयामसि ॥
The herbs speak together with Soma and with the king. For whom the brahmin makes (the remedy), O king, we cure him.
10.97.23
त्वमु॑त्त॒मास्यो॑षधे॒ तव॑ वृ॒क्षा उप॑स्तयः ।
उप॑स्तिरस्तु॒ सो॑ऽस्माकं॒ यो अ॒स्माँ अ॑भि॒दास॑ति ॥
You are the best, O herb; your trees are supports. May he who attacks us be also a support for us.
