Translation:
Rig Veda
- ARAYI, one-eyed limping hag, fly, ever-screeching, to the hill. We frighten thee away with these, the heroes of Sirimbitha. 2 Scared from this place and that is she, destroyer of each germ unborn. Go, sharp-horned Brāhmaṇaspti and drive Arayi far away. 3 Yon log that floats without a man to guide it on the river’s edge,— Seize it, thou thing with hideous jaws, and go thou far away thereon. 4 When, foul with secret stain and spot, ye hastened onward to the breast, All Indra’s enemies were slain and passed away like froth and foam. 5 These men have led about the cow, have duly carried Agni round, And raised their glory tg the Gods. Who will attack them with success?
