HYMN CXIII

A woman's incantation against a rival 1. Rough Plant, thou rough rude parasite, cut thou that man, O   Rough and Rude,   That thou mayst hinder from his act that man in all his manly    strength. 2. Thou, rugged Plant, art rude and rough, Vishā, Vishātaki art    thou.   That thou mayest be cast off by him, as by a bull a barren cow.
