HYMN CXXIX

These mares come springing forward to Pratipa Pratisutvana.
4. One of them is Hariknika. Hariknika, what seekest thou?
6. The excellent, the golden son: where now hast thou aban-
doned him?
8. There where around those distant trees, three Sisus that are
standing there,
10. Three adders, breathing angrily, are blowing loud the
threatening horn.
12. Hither hath come a stallion: he is known by droppings on
his way,
14. As by their dung the course of kine. What wouldst thou in
the home of men?
16. Barley and ripened rice I seek. On rice and barley hast thou
fed,
18. As the big serpent feeds on sheep. Cow's hoof and horse's
tail hast thou,
20. Winged with a falcon's pinion is that harmless swelling of
thy tongue.
