HYMN CXIII

A woman's incantation against a rival

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.
Thou, rugged Plant, art rude and rough, Visha, Vishataki art
thou.
That thou mayest be cast off by him, as by a bull a barren cow.
