HYMN XC

A charm against a rival in love 1. Tear thou asunder, as of old, like tangles of a creeping plant.   Demolish thou the Dāsa’s might. 2. May we with Indra’s help divide the gathered treasure of the    foe.   I, by the law of Varuna, bring down thy pride and wantonness. 3. Ut virga abeat et feminis innocua fiat, (virga) membri humidi,    membri quod verberat penetratque, id quod tentum est laxa,    id quod sursum tentum est deorsum tende.
