Against sadā́nvās

English · William Dwight Whitney

Against sadā́nvās

The expeller, the bold, the container, the one-toned, the voracious—all the daughters (naptī́) of the wrathful one, the sadā́nvās, we make to disappear.

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

Out of the cow-stall we drive you, out of the axle, out of the wagon-body (?); out of the houses we expel you, ye daughters (duhitṛ́) of magundī.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

Yon house that is below—there let the hags be; there let debility (sedí) make its home (ni-uc), and all the sorceresses.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

Let the lord of beings drive out, also Indra, from here the sadā́nvās, sitting on the bottom of the house; let Indra subdue them with the thunderbolt.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

If ye are of the endemic (? kṣetriyá) ones, or if sent by men; if ye are born from the barbarians (dásyu)—disappear from here, O sadā́nvās.

6
English · William Dwight Whitney

I have gone around the abodes (dhāman) of them as a swift [steed about] a race-course; I have won (ji) all your races (ājí); disappear from here, O sadā́nvās.
