2.12 Enemies

Rishi: Bharadvaaja

May my ongoing Tapas be beneficial to Heaven, Earth, the Mid-World, the Guardians, The Sun and The wind gods.

O Gods, masters of sacrifice, From Bharadwaja I received this knowledge. May those that impede our disciplines be themselves cast into great difficulties.

O Indra, the illumined mind, hear me thus. Those who are impure in heart and intent be cut down, like a tree with an axe.

I accept the benefits of the sacrifice of the force of desire, direct to our Fathers accompanied by the Sama chant of three and eighty mantras. The Adityas, Vasus and Angiras propel me into the divine flame.

May the splendour of Heaven and Earth reflect in me. May all the gods and realised fathers rejoice with me. Let all opposition fall back into their own evil nature.

O Maruts, those who in their superiority, look down on our sacrifices, may they be weakened. They find no place In heaven.

With my Mantras, I break the seven pranic knots and eight energy blocks. The power of this mantra, carried by the flames will reach the god of Death.

In this fire, you reside. The fire enters your body and your breath give s power to your words.
