HYMN XV

A charm for power and preeminence

Most excellent of all the plants art thou: thy vassals are the
trees.
Let him be subject to our power, the man who seeks to injure
us.
Whoever seeks to injure us, with kinsmen or no kin to aid,
May I be uppermost of all, even as this Plant is queen of trees.
As Soma hath been made the best of all oblations 'mid the
plants,
So, as Talasa is the queen of trees, may I be chief of all.
