A Charm Against Fiends And Goblins
fice which quells the goblins.
Burn from afar against the demons Agni! Afflict not in thy fury
us who praise thee.
2. Let Rudra break your necks, O ye Pisāchas, and split your ribs
asunder, Yātudhānas!
Your herb of universal power with Yama hath allied itself.
3. Here, Mitra-Varuna! may we dwell safely: with splendour drive
the greedy demons backward,
Let them not find a surety or a refuge, but torn away go down
to Death together.
