Translation -
You are the bestower of happiness. (1) The evil powers have been driven away and so are the inimical tendencies. (2) You are the skin of the eternity. May the eternity receive уоu. (з) You are the cloud, nourisher of vegetation. You are the broad-based cloud. May the skin of eternity receive you. (4)
Notes -
The ritualists recite this mantra while spreading the black-buck skin for putting wooden mortar on it, so that no part of the rice husked for the sacrifice is lost. According to Dayananda this verse is addressed to a house which provides shelter. Sarma,happiness. Home or shelter is also sarma,as it gives hapiness. शम इति गृहनामसु पठितम् (Nigh. III. 4). Also,चर्म इति मानुषं,शम इति दैव नाम(Mahidara). Raksah, evil-minded creature; any evil power. It appears that originally the raksas were the protectors, a sort of police force. In course of time they indulged in malpractices,bullying and extortion, and spending their ill-earned wealth оn sensual pleasures, which earned a bad name for them. They were feared and detested. Агаti, an enemy, who does not pay our dues to us. Hence the inimical tendencies are also arati. Tvak, skin. Adrih vanaspatyah, cloud belonging to vegetation. Clouds nourish the vegetation; on the other hand, they are born from vegetation also. अद्रिः इति मेघनामसु पठितम्(Nigh. I. 10). Grava prthubudhnah, broad-based cloud. ग्रावा इति मेघनामसु पठितम् (Nigh. I. 10). Prthubudhnah; рrthu is wide or broad; budhna is base. Aditi, is the Eternity; also the earth.
