Paippalāda-Saṃhitā · Chapter 6.20
ā rātri pārthivaṃ rajaḥ
pitur aprāyi dhāmabhiḥ |
divaḥ sadāṃsi bṛhatī vi tiṣṭhasa
ā tveṣaṃ vartate tamaḥ ||
na yasyāḥ pāraṃ dadṛśe na yoyuvad
viśvam asyāṃ ni viśate yad ejati |
ariṣṭāsas ta urvi tamasvati
rātri pāram aśīmahi
bhadre pāram aśīmahi ||
ye te rātri nṛcakṣaso
draṣṭāro navatir nava |
aśītiḥ santy aṣṭā
uto te sapta saptatiḥ ||
ṣaṣṭiś ca ṣaṭ ca revati
pañcāśat pañca sumnayi |
catvāraś catvāriṃśac ca
trayas triṃśac ca vājini ||
dvā ca viṃśatiś ca te
rātry ekādaśāvamāḥ |
tebhir no 'dya pāyubhir
ni pāhi duhitar divaḥ ||
rakṣā mākir ṇo aghaśaṃsa īśata
mā no duḥśaṃsa īśata ||
mā no adya gavāṃ steno
māvīnāṃ vṛka īśata |
māśvānāṃ bhadre taskaro
mā nṛṇāṃ yātudhānyaḥ ||
paramebhiḥ pathibhi
steno dhāvatu taskaraḥ |
pareṇa datvatī rajjuḥ
pareṇāghāyur arṣatu ||
andhaṃ rātri tiṣṭhadhūmam
aśīrṣāṇam ahiṃ kṛṇu |
hanū vṛkasya jambhaya-
-ā stenaṃ drupade jahi ||
tvayi rātri vasāmasi
svapiṣyāmasi jāgṛhi |
gobhyo naḥ śarma yaccha-
-aśvebhyaḥ puruṣebhyaḥ ||
