Translation -
O lady of the house, you are firmly set and look after all. You have been established by the Lord himself. May not gold allure you nor a man of fine features. Unshaken in your place, may you make the world steady. (1)
Notes -
According to the ritualists, the sacrificer lays on the golden man a svayamütrnná brick, i. e. a naturally porous brick, which is made of grit, gravel and sand. Day4nanda interprets this mantra as addressed to the wife of the king. Dhruva, स्थिरा, finn. Dharuna, अनेषां धारयित्री, supporter of others. Samudra, रुक्मो वै समुद्र: पुरुष: सुपर्ण: (Satapatha, VIL 4. 2. 5), samudra is gold indeed and supama is man. मुद्रया सहित: समुद्र:, a man with money. Suparnah, शोभनानि पर्णानि पालितान्यंगानि यस्य स:, а man of well developed and handsome physique (Day4. ). Parna means a leaf; also wing of a bird. In the context of a man, it may mean fine features or dress. This may be a good advice to any lady of the house.
