32. For long life etc.: with an amulet of darbhá.

दर्भः।
१-१० भृगुः (आयुष्कामः)। दर्भः। अनुष्टुप्, ८ पुरस्ताद्बृहती, ९ त्रिष्टुप्, १० जगती।

[Bhṛgu (saruakāmaḥ. āyuṣe).—daśakam. mantroktadevatyam. ānuṣṭubham: 8. purastādbṛhatī; 9. triṣṭubh; 10. jagatī.]

Comment

Found also in Pāipp. xii. The comm. finds the hymn quoted in Nakṣ. K. 19, as used in a mahāśānti ceremony called yāmī, with the binding on of an amulet of darbha, in case of fear of Yama (yamabhaye).

Translations

Translated: Griffith, ii. 289; vs. 8 also by Zimmer, p. 205, with comment.

A charm, with an amulet of Darbha grass, to subdue enemies and win the affection of others

Translation

1. Hundred-jointed, hard to be stirred, thousand-leaved, uplifting
   (?)—the darbhá that is a formidable herb, that I bind on thee in order
   to [prolonged] life-time.

Notes

Some of the mss., as usual, read duścav- in a. Very nearly all
read uttirás in b (p. ut॰tiráḥ), and SPP. follows them; and this
the translation implies, since it is acceptable enough ⌊cf., for the
formation, uttudás, iii. 25. 1, and, for the meaning, uttirán, vi.
36. 2⌋, and appears in Ppp. (with -rṇam before it); but the comm. has
úttaras, as our text by conjectural emendation. Some mss. have tát
for tám in d; the comm., tena for taṁ te. ⌊Ppp. combines
yograoṣadhis in c, which is susceptible of more than one
interpretation.⌋ ⌊The gender of ugrás would seem to call for some
remark.⌋

For lengthened life I bind on thee the Darbha grass, the mighty plant. Excellent, hard to overthrow, with hundred stems and thousand blades.

Translation

2. His hair they scatter not forth, they smite not blows on their breast
   [for him], to whom one yields refuge by the darbhá of uncut leaves.

Notes

The expression in a is a good example for the real identity of roots
vap ‘strew’ and vap ‘shear.’ Many of the mss. accent urási in
b. All the mss. leave yachati in d unaccented, and both
editions commit the error of refraining from emendation to yáchati,
which is of course necessary. Ppp. has at end of b ghnatī, and
combines in c yasmā ’cch-. Bloomfield translates and comments on
the verse in AJP. xi. 339 ⌊or JAOS. xv., p. xlv⌋. The comm. supplies in
the first line as subject mṛtyudūtā rakṣaḥpiśācādyā vā, renders pra
vapanti by ākarṣanti, and combines urasitāḍam into a compound—all
very bad.

They cut not off his hair, they strike blow upon the breast for’ him. To whom one gives protection by Darbha that hath uninjured leaves.

3. In the sky is thy tuft, O herb; in the earth art thou set
   (ni-sthā); with thee, that hast a thousand joints, do we increase
   further our life-time.

Notes

The translation follows the mss., the comm., SPP., and Ppp., all of
which read tū́lam in a. ⌊Cf. ii. 7. 3, which perhaps suggested the
wrong emendation of the Berlin text.⌋ In b, the comm. has
viṣṭhitas ⌊and Ppp. niṣṭhitā⌋.

O Plant, thy root is in the sky, and thou art stationed on the earth: With thee who hast a thousand stalks we strengthen all the powers of life.

Translation

4. Thou didst bore through the three skies, also these three earths; by
   thee do I bore into my enemy’s (durhā́rd) tongue [and] utterances
   (vácas).

Notes

In a, SPP. reads more correctly divás, with nearly all the mss.
The comm. reads atṛṇas; he explains aty atṛṇas by atikramya gatavān
asi or veṣṭitavān asi, and ni tṛṇadmi by veṣṭayāmi, both very
unsuitably. The meter clearly calls for ca at the end, and Ppp. has
it; whether the comm. means to acknowledge it as part of the text is
doubtful; his text, according to SPP., does not present it. ⌊None of the
other authorities has ca, but the Berlin ed. gives ca by
emendation.⌋ Ppp. reads in b tisro dyāṁ pṛth-.

Through all three skies the plant hath pierced, and the three regions of the earth; With thee I split in twain the tongue and words of the bad- hearted man.

5. Thou art overpowering; I am full of power; may we, both of us,
   becoming full of power, overpower our rivals.

Notes

The comm. reads in a sahamānā; Ppp. in a-b, -no aham. To be
compared is iii. 18. 5 (RV. x. 145. 5), which ends grammatically with a
dual, sahāvahāi. Our sahiṣīvahi ⌊Skt. Gram. §907⌋ was an
emendation, but is given also by Ppp.; the mss., SPP., and the comm.,
have -mahi.

Thou art victorious in thy might I am endowed with conquering strength: Possessed of overpowering force we two will quell our enemies.

Translation

6. Do thou overpower our hostile plotter, overpower those that fight us;
   overpower all enemies (durhā́rd); make for me many friends (suhā́rd).

Notes

Most of the mss. read in d bahúm; Ppp. and the comm. and two of
SPP’s authorities and one of ours have bakūn. Ppp. combines and reads
in a, b no ‘bhimātihaṁ sakarvā pṛ-.

Subdue our foeman, overcome the men who fain would fight: with us. Conquer all evil-hearted ones: make many well-disposed to me.

Translation

7. With the darbhá, god-born, constantly sky-propping—with it I have
   constantly won and shall win men (jána).

Notes

In a most of the mss. read devajāténa; SPP. with us. In b, SPP.
follows the mss. in giving diví ṣṭambhéna (p. diví: stambhéna) our
emendation to diviṣṭambhéna is obviously required, and is assumed by
the comm. In c, our jánāṅ was an emendation for the jánās of the
mss.; but two of SPP’s mss. read jánāṅ, and it is accepted also in
SPP’s text. The comm. supports it by giving janān; ⌊and his text has
janān asanam⌋. ⌊Ppp. also has janān, as noted below.⌋ In d,
nearly all the authorities read ásanām (three of them have ásanānt
s-), but SPP. finds among his, two that agree with the ⌊text of the⌋
comm. in presenting ásanam, which he adopts, and which is undoubtedly
the true text; the aorist is the tense that best suits the connection.
⌊This remark seems to involve the implication that asanām might be an
imperfect of the nā-class; but that can hardly have been Whitney’s
intention.⌋ Ppp. reads janān asanāṁ, ⌊and, in b, divaṣṭambhena.⌋

With Darbha that hath sprung from Gods, stationed in heaven, full many a time. With this have I won many men, have won and may I win them still.

8. Make me, O darbhá, dear to Brahman-and-Kshatriya, both to śūdra and
   to Āryan, and to whomsoever we desire, and to every one that looks
   abroad.

Notes

That is, ’every one that has eyes to see.’ ⌊Cf. 62. 1, below, and VS.
xviii. 48.⌋ A few authorities have the more proper accent -nyā́bhyām,
but VS. xxvi. 2 (which has this and the following four words together)
likewise accents -nyà-, as does SPP. Our śūdrā́ya was an emendation,
all our mss. ⌊collated at time of publication⌋ having sūryā́ya, as do
nearly all SPP’s; but one of our later ones, with two or three of SPP’s,
the comm., and Ppp., give śūdrā́ya. All the mss. mis-accent vipáśate,
most having vipaśyaté, others vípaśyate or vipaśyate; SPP. this
time ventures to follow us in emending to ⌊vipáśyate⌋ the true
reading. The Anukr. regards brahmarājanyā̀bhyām as belonging to the
first pāda, and does not heed that the pāda has 13 syllables, one too
many for a purastādbṛhatī.

Do thou, O Darbha, make me dear to Brahman and Rajanya, dear to Sudra, and to Arya dear, Yea, dear to every man we love, to every man with eyes to see.

Translation

9. He that, being born, made firm the earth, that propped (stabh) the
   atmosphere and the sky, whose wearer evil hath not found out—that
   darbhá here [is] our supporter [and] blessing.

Notes

Or, ‘be our supporter.’ Here at the end, the translation follows the
very acceptable reading of Ppp., dharuṇo ‘dhivākaḥ. All the mss. give
váruṇo ⌊one, váruṇó!⌋ divā́ kaḥ (the comm. divā ’kaḥ), which was
plainly corrupt, but which SPP. (justifiably, from his point of view)
retains without question. Roth’s emendation, as read in our text, to
váraṇo ‘dhivākáḥ hit very near the mark. All the mss. (except,
doubtless by accident, one of ours) have in c viveda, without
accent, and this SPP. admits in his text, though emendation (to
vivéda, as made in our edition) is as obviously necessary as in vs. 8.
All the mss. ⌊but O. tanú⌋, and Ppp., read in c nanú; ⌊and so
does SPP.;⌋ our emendation to nā́ ’nu is acceptable, but not necessary.
The comm. explains quite prosaically the plant’s ‘making firm the
earth’; its roots keep the ground from being dissolved by water! The
last words he understands thus: varuṇa (as coming from vṛ) means a
keeper off (nivāraka) of darkness; and divā ’kaḥ signifies prakāśaṁ
karotu. ⌊Ppp. begins b with so ‘stabh-.⌋

He who first born fixed earth in her position, he who established heaven and air’s mid-region, Whom sinner ne’er hath known as his supporter,–this Darbha be our shelter and protection!

10. Rival-slaying, hundred-jointed, powerful, came into being the first
    of plants; let that darbhá here protect us all about; by it may I
    overpower fighters, them that fight [against me].

Notes

In a-b the mss. read sáhasvanāú ’ṣadh- (p. -svanā: óṣ-), but
SPP. emends, as we had done, to -vān óṣadh-, as is read ⌊by one of his
pada-mss., p.m.,⌋ by the comm., and also by Ppp. It is a naturally
suggested conjecture that at some time -āno- as written in the Bengālī
fashion may have been misread into -anāu-, and SPP. puts this forward;
the lateness and unscholarly character of the pada-text to this book
make the assumption of such an error far from implausible; we are
surprised only at finding the comm’s text antecedent to it. In d a
few of the mss. accent pṛtanyátas. The verse is jagatī only in its
second half. ⌊Pāda c is identical with 33. 1 c.⌋

First of all plants it sprang into existence, victorious, hundred- stemmed, the foe-subduer, So may this Darbha from all sides protect us: with this may I subdue our foes in battle.
