yá idáṃ strī́ púmān ákar ihá sá stuvatāṃ jánaḥ ||1||
This oblation shall bring the sorcerers, as a stream does the foam; whoever, woman [or] man, hath done this, here let that person speak out.
1.8.2
ayáṃ stuvāná ā́gamad imáṃ sma práti haryata |
bŕ̥haspate váśe labdhvā́gnīṣomā ví vidhyatam ||2||
This man hath come, speaking out; this man do ye welcome; O Brihaspati, taking [him] into thy control—O Agni and Soma, do ye (two) pierce [him] through.
1.8.3
yātudhā́nasya somapa jahí prajā́ṃ náyasva ca |
ní stuvānásya pātaya páram ákṣy utā́varam ||3||
Of the sorcerer, O soma-drinker, slay the progeny and conduct [him hither]; of him, speaking out, make fall out (nis-pat) the upper eye and the lower.
1.8.4
yátraiṣām agne jánimāni véttha gúhā satā́m attríṇāṃ jātavedaḥ |
tā́ṃs tváṃ bráhmaṇā vāvr̥dhānó jahy èṣāṃ śatatárham agne ||4||
Wherever, O Agni, thou knowest the births of them, of the devourers that are in secret, O Jātavedas, them do thou, increasing through worship (bráhman)—slay of them, O Agni, with hundredfold transfixion.
