HYMN 155 Various

1

ARAYI, one-eyed limping hag, fly, ever-screeching, to the hill.
We frighten thee away with these, the heroes of Sirimbitha.

2

Scared from this place and that is she, destroyer of each germ unborn.
Go, sharp-horned Brahmanaspti and drive Arayi far away.

3

Yon log that floats without a man to guide it on the river's edge,-
Seize it, thou thing with hideous jaws, and go thou far away thereon.

4

When, foul with secret stain and spot, ye hastened onward to the breast,
All Indra's enemies were slain and passed away like froth and foam.

5

These men have led about the cow, have duly carried Agni round,
And raised their glory tg the Gods. Who will attack them with success?
