185 2. Three skies, three earths, and these six directions severally—by thee let me see all beings, O divine herb.

3. Of that heavenly eagle art thou the eye-pupil; thou here hast ascended the earth as a wearied bride (vadhū́) a litter.

4. May the thousand-eyed god set it in my right hand; with it do I see every one, both who is Çūdra and [who] Āryan.

5. Make manifest [thy] forms; do not hide thyself away; then mayest thou, O thousand-eyed one, look upon the kimīdíns.

6. Show me the sorcerers; show the sorceresses; show all the piçācás: with this intent I take hold of (ā-rabh) thee, O herb.

7. The eye of Kaçyapa art thou, and of the four-eyed bitch; conceal thou not the piçācá, like the sun gliding (sṛp) in the clear sky (vīdhrá).

8. I have seized (ud-grabh) out of his shelter (paripā́ṇa) the sorcerer, the kimīdín; with it do I see every one, both Çūdra and Āryan.
