Let him draw it for Indra Vimridh (the Averter of scorn), for, verily, the scorners of those who sit for a year are smitten, and all is won by them: hence for Indra Vimridh,--with (Vâg. S. VIII, 44; Rig-veda X, 152, 4), 'Scatter thou our scorners, O Indra, lay them low that war against us, and send them, that persecute us, to the nethermost darkness!--Thou art taken with a support: thee to Indra Vimridh!--This is thy womb: thee to Indra Vimridh!'
