Of the karçápha, of the viçaphá, heaven [is] father, earth mother: as, O gods, ye have inflicted (abhi-kṛ), so do ye remove (apa-kṛ) again.

kr̥ṇómi vádhri víṣkandhaṃ muṣkābarhó gávām iva ||2||

Without claspers they held fast (dhāraya); that was so done by Manu; I make the víṣkandha impotent, like a castrater of bulls.

On a reddish string a khṛ́gala—that the pious (vedhás) bind on; let the binders (?) make impotent the flowing (?), puffing (?) kābavá.
