10.145.1
i̱māṁ kha̍nā̱my oṣa̍dhiṁ vī̱rudha̱m bala̍vattamām |
yayā̍ sa̱patnī̱m bādha̍te̱ yayā̍ saṁvi̱ndate̱ pati̍m ||
FROM out the earth I dig this plant, a herb of most effectual power, Wherewith one quells the rival wife and gains the husband for oneself.
10.145.2
uttā̍naparṇe̱ subha̍ge̱ deva̍jūte̱ saha̍svati |
sa̱patnī̍m me̱ parā̍ dhama̱ pati̍m me̱ keva̍laṁ kuru ||
Auspicious, with expanded leaves, sent by the Gods, victorious plant, Blow thou the rival wife away, and make my husband only mine.
10.145.3
utta̍rā̱ham u̍ttara̱ utta̱red utta̍rābhyaḥ |
athā̍ sa̱patnī̱ yā mamādha̍rā̱ sādha̍rābhyaḥ ||
Stronger am I, O Stronger One, yea, mightier than the mightier; And she who is my rival wife is lower than the lowest dames.
10.145.4
na̱hy a̍syā̱ nāma̍ gṛ̱bhṇāmi̱ no a̱smin ra̍mate̱ jane̍ |
parā̍m e̱va pa̍rā̱vata̍ṁ sa̱patnī̍ṁ gamayāmasi ||
Her very name I utter not: she takes no pleasure in this man. Far into distance most remote drive we the rival wife away.
10.145.5
a̱ham a̍smi̱ saha̍mā̱nātha̱ tvam a̍si sāsa̱hiḥ |
u̱bhe saha̍svatī bhū̱tvī sa̱patnī̍m me sahāvahai ||
I am the conqueror, and thou, thou also act victorious: As victory attends us both we will subdue my fellow-wife.
10.145.6
upa̍ te 'dhā̱ṁ saha̍mānām a̱bhi tvā̍dhā̱ṁ sahī̍yasā |
mām anu̱ pra te̱ mano̍ va̱tsaṁ gaur i̍va dhāvatu pa̱thā vār i̍va dhāvatu ||
I have gained thee for vanquisher, have grasped thee with a stronger spell. As a cow hastens to her calf, so let thy spirit speed te me, hasten like water on its way.
