v1.c8.s3.57

Him that moves about in the eyes, that moves about in the nose, that gets to the middle of the teeth, that worm do we crush. (3)
The two of like colour, the two of different colour; the two black ones, and the two red ones; the brown one; and the brown-eared one; the (one like a) vulture, and the (one like a) cuckoo, are slain. (4)
The worms with white shoulders, the black ones with white arms, and all those that are variegated, these worms do we crush. (5)
Slain is the king of the worms and their viceroy also is slain. Slain is the worm, with him his mother slain, his brother slain, his sister slain. (11)
Slain are they who are inmates with him, slain are his neighbours; moreover all the quite tiny worms are slain. (12)
Of all the male worms, and of all the female worms do I split the heads with the stone, I burn their faces with fire.” [^1) (13)
