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