HYMN CXIII

A charm to banish the fiend Grāhi 1. This sin the Gods wiped off and laid on Trita, and Trita wiped    it off on human beings.   Thence if the female fiend hath made thee captive, the Gods by    prayer shall banish her and free thee. 2. Enter the particles of light and vapours, go to the rising fogs or    mists, O Evil!   Hence! vanish in the foams of rivers. Pūshan, wipe woes away    upon the babe-destroyer! 3. Stored in twelve separate places lies what Trita hath wiped away,    the sins of human beings.   Thence if the female fiend hath made thee captive, the Gods by    prayer shall banish her and free thee.
