### [c10.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.macdonell-1900.c10.55)

\*Bend round and pass us by, O curse,\*  
\*Even as a burning fire a lake.\*  
\*Here strike him down that curses us,\*  
\*As heaven's lightning smites the tree\* (vi. 37, 2).  
  
\*As, rising in the east, the sun\*  
\*The stars' bright lustre takes away,\*  
\*So both of women and of men,\*  
\*My foes, the strength I take away\* (vii. 13, 1).
