HYMN LXXXI
A charm to facilitate child-birth
1Thou art a grasper, holding fast both hands: drivest fiends
away.
A holder both of progeny and riches hath this Ring become.
2Prepare accordantly, O Ring, the mother for the infant's birth.
On the right way bring forth the boy. Make him come hither.
I am here.
3The Amulet which Aditi wore when desirous of a son,
Tvashtar hath bound upon this dame and said, Be mother of a
boy.
