The Sanskrit text of the Bhrigu-samhita, an ancient text belonging to the Vaikhanasa Agama section of the Pancaratra tradition and dates to at least 11th century (or earlier). The name “Bhrigusamhita” literally means “The Compendium of Bhrigu” and basically represents a work on Vaishnava theology. The English translation of the Bhrigu-samhita is indicatory only as it was performed by a translation software. Alternative titles: Bhṛgusaṃhitā (भृगुसंहिता), Bhṛgu-saṃhitā (भृगु-संहिता), Bhrgusamhita.

प्रोक्षणं सूक्तमिति तु केचिद्वैकल्पिकं जगुः ।
या जाताऽइति मन्त्राश्च ओषधीसूक्तमुच्यते ॥ ११६ ॥

prokṣaṇaṃ sūktamiti tu kecidvaikalpikaṃ jaguḥ |
yā jātā'iti mantrāśca oṣadhīsūktamucyate || 116 ||

Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.

Some, however, chanted an alternative version of the Sūkta, which is called sprinkling. The mantras “Ya jata” are also mentioned in the Oṣadhīsūkta.
