HYMN XVI

A medical charm

1O Ābayu, non-Ābayu, dire is thy juice, O Ābayu; we eat the
   gruel made of thee.
2Vihalha is thy father's name, thy mother's is Madāvati.
  Yea, verily thou art not he, thou who hast well protected life.
3Go thou to rest, Tauvilikā! This noisy cry hath sunk to rest.
  Go hence, depart, Nirāla, thou! the tawny and the tawny-
   eared.
