HYMN C

A charm against poison

1The Gods and Sūrya gave the gift, the Earth and Heaven best-
owed the boon.
The three Sarasvatis in full accord bestowed the antidote.
2That water, Upajīkās! which Gods poured for you on thirsty land,
With that same water sent by Gods, drive ye away this poison
here. p. a247
3The daughter of the Asuras art thou, and sister of the Gods.
Thou who hast sprung from heaven and earth hast robbed the
poison of its power.
