HYMN VIII

To Indra, Brihaspati, Soma and Agni, for the destruction of sorcerers

1This sacrifice shall bring the Yātudhānas as the flood brings
   foam: p. a9
  Here let the doer of this deed woman or man, acknowledge it.
2This one hath come confessing all: do ye receive him
   eagerly.
  Master him thou, Brihaspati; Agni and Soma, pierce him
   through.
3O Soma-drinker, strike and bring the Yātudhāna's progeny:
  Make the confessing sinner's eyes fall from his head, both right
   and left.
4As thou, O Agni Jātavedas, knowest the races of these secret
   greedy beings,
  So strengthened by the power of prayer, O Agni, crushing them
   down a hundred times destroy them.
