Against the disease kṣetriyá

On the head of the swift-running gazelle (hariṇá) is a remedy; he by his horn hath made the kṣetriyá disappear, dispersing.

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

After thee hath the bull-gazelle stridden with his four feet; O horn, do thou unfasten (vi-sā) the kṣetriyá that is compacted (?) in his heart.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

What shines down yonder, like a four-sided roof (chadís), therewith we make all the kṣetriyá disappear from thy limbs.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

The two blessed stars named Unfasteners (vicṛ́t), that are yonder in the sky—let them unfasten of the kṣetriyá the lowest, the highest fetter.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

The waters verily [are] remedial, the waters disease-expelling, the waters remedial of everything; let them release thee from kṣetriyá.

6
English · William Dwight Whitney

If from the drink (? āsutí) that was being made the kṣetriyá hath come upon (vi-aç) thee, I know the remedy of it; I make the kṣetriyá disappear from thee.

7
English · William Dwight Whitney

In the fading-out of the asterisms, in the fading-out of the dawns also, from us [fade] out all that is of evil nature, fade out (apa-vas) the kṣetriyá.
