HYMN XXXVI

A charm against disease and evil spirits

1The Hundred-haired hath banished hence fiends and Consump-
   tions by its might.
  With splendour hath the charm that scares demons of ill-name
   mounted up.
2It drives off demons with its horns and sorceresses with its root,
  It stays Consumption with its waist: from this no wickedness
   escapes.
3Consumptions, light and serious, and those which sounds
   accompany,
  All these the Amulet, Hundred-haired, scarer of fiends, hath
   banished hence.
4A hundred men hath it produced, hundred Consumptions chased
   away,
  All fiends of evil-name it hath smitten, and shakes the
  Rākshasas.
5The Bull that weareth horns of gold, this Amulet with hundred
   hairs,
  Hath cleft the demons of ill-name and overcome the Rākshasas.
6Hundred she-fiends, a hundred of Gandharvas and Apsarasas,
  A hundred of dog-mated nymphs, I keep away with Hundred-
  Hair
