HYMN XII

A charm against venomous serpents

1I, As the Sun goes round the heaven, have travelled round the
  Serpents' race.
  I ward thy poison off, as Night parts all else living from the
  Sun.
2With this, discovered in the days of old by Brāhmans, Rishis,
  Gods,
  With this I ward thy poison off, thou Biter! formed and form-
   ing now.
3With mead I mingle flowing streams: the hills and mountains
   shall be mead.
  Parushni and Sipālā mead. May it be well with mouth and
   heart.
