Against poison
This water (vā́r) shall ward off (vāray-) upon the Varaṇāvatī; an on-pouring of ambrosia (amṛ́ta) is there; with it I ward off thy poison.
Sapless is the poison of the east, sapless what is of the north; also this that is of the south is exchangeable with gruel (karambhá).
Having made gruel of sesame (?), teeming with fat, steaming (?), thou dost not rack, O ill-bodied one, him that has eaten thee merely from hunger.
Away we make thine intoxication fly, like an arrow (çará), O intoxicating one (f.); we make thee with our spell (vácas) to stand forth, like a boiling pot.
With a spell we cause to stand about [thee] as it were a collected troop (grā́ma); stand thou, like a tree in [its] station; spade-dug one (f.), thou rackest not.
For covers (? pavásta) they bought thee, also for garments (? dūrçá), for goat-skins; purchasable (? prakrī́) art thou, O herb; spade-dug one, thou rackest not.
Who of you did what first unattained deeds—let them not harm our heroes here; for that purpose I put you forward.
