power,
Wherewith one quells the rival wife and gains the husband for
one's self.
2. Auspicious, with expanded leaves, sent by the Gods, victorious
Plant,

mine.
3. Indeed he hath not named her name: thou with this husband
dalliest not,

4. Stronger am I, O stronger one, yea, mightier than the mightier;
Beneath me be my rival wife, down, lower than the lowest
dames!
5. I am the conqueror, and thou, thou also art victorious:
As victory attends us both we will subdue my fellowwife.
6. I've girt thee with the conquering Plant, beneath thee laid the
mightiest one.
As a cow hastens to her calf, so let thy spirit speed to me,
hasten like water on its way.
