विषय - राजा के धर्म का उपदेश।
पदार्थ -
(अघद्विष्टा) पाप में द्वेष [अप्रीति] करनेवाली (देवजाता) विद्वानों में प्रसिद्ध (वीरुत्) ओषधि [ओषधि के समान फैली हुयी ईश्वरशक्ति] (शपथयोपनी) शाप [क्रोधवचन को] हटानेवाली है। उसने (मत् अधि) मुझसे (सर्वान्) सब (शपथान्) शापों [कुवचनों] को (प्र+अनैक्षीत्) धो डाला है, (इव) जैसे (आपः) जल (मलम्) मल को ॥१॥
भावार्थ - जैसे उत्तम ओषधि से शरीर के रोग मिट जाते और जल से मलीन वस्त्र आदि शुद्ध होते हैं, वैसे ही पापी कुक्रोधी मनुष्य भी ब्रह्मज्ञान द्वारा पापों से छूटकर शुद्धात्मा हो जाते और ईश्वर के उपकारों को विचारकर उपकारी बनते और सदा आनन्द भोगते हैं ॥१॥

Subject - Countering Evil
Meaning -
Enemy of sin and disease, born of divine will with divine qualities, Virut, durva or sahasra-kanda herb, is an antidote to disease both physical and mental, and, just as waters wash off the dirt, so does it wash off all diseases and disturbances of mind from me. (Virut has been explained as a herb which is a physical as well as a mental sanative. While it relieves and cures physical ailments, it also relieves the mind from anxiety and depression and induces peace and tranquillity of mind and spirit. It is used as ointment, orally taken as juice and also used for massage with oil or ghrta. It has also been interpreted as human piety and divine grace, mental and spiritual discipline which, too, blesses a person with freedom from disease and disorders of the mind. This psychic version of Virut works through yama and niyama, pranayama and dhyana.)
