Sukta 34
You are Angira, you are Jangida, you are Jangida, you are protected. May Jangida protect us all from two legs and four legs
They are the fifty-three Gritsyas and the hundred Krityas. May the effulgence of the taste of the jangids disperse all.
The seven tastes of the artificial sound of the arasa are terrifying. Apeto jangidamatimishumasteva kill.
This is the pollution of action, and it is the pollution of arati. Then Sahasvajangida saved his life.
May that glory of Jangida protect us from all sides. Vishkandham with whom Sanskandhamoja Ojasa.
After three years, the demigods gave birth to a son who was fixed on the earth. The Brahmins of the East know him as Tyangira.
Not those old herbs, nor those new ones that cross you. Vibadha Ugro Jangida Paripana Sumangala.
Athopadana Bhagava Jangidamitavirya. In the past, when they were fiercely swallowed, Upandra gave them strength.
Ugra it te vanaspata Indra ozmanama dadhau. Kill all the amoebas and the demons in the herb.
I asked Balasa, who was physically and mentally ill. Takmana, the master of the universe, was stirred by the immortals.
Sūkta -35
The sages who killed the name of Indra gave him Jangida.
The gods made him the medicine before he polluted Vishkandha.
May that warrior protect us as the guardian of wealth protects us.
The devas and the brahmins gave him the drink of the immortals.
The heartbroken Sam, with his terrible eyes, came to the heart of the sinful deeds.
Destroy them with your thousand-eyed counter-enlightenment, O warrior, O warrior.
The measure of the heavens is not above the earth, nor is the measure of the heavens above the sky.
May Jangida protect us from the past and from the future.
The Ṛṣṇa, who was created by the demigods, was created by the demigods.
All of them were stirred by the Visvabhesha Jorasa.
