HYMN XC

A charm against a rival in love

1Tear thou asunder, as of old, like tangles of a creeping plant.
  Demolish thou the Dāsa's might.
2May we with Indra's help divide the gathered treasure of the
   foe.
  I, by the law of Varuna, bring down thy pride and wantonness.
3Ut virga abeat et feminis innocua fiat, (virga) membri humidi,
   membri quod verberat penetratque, id quod tentum est laxa,
   id quod sursum tentum est deorsum tende.
