1. O apacíts, fly forth, like a bird (suparṇá) from its nest; let the sun make remedy; let the moon shine you away.

2. One [is] spotted, one whitish (çyénī), one black, two red; of all have I taken the name; go ye away, not slaying [our] men.

3. Barren shall the apacít, daughter of the black one, fly forth; the boil (glāú) shall fly forth from here; it shall disappear from the neck (? galuntás).

4. Partake (vī) of [thine] own oblation, enjoying with the mind; hail! as now I make oblation with the mind.

1. Thou in whose terrible mouth I make oblation, in order to the release of these bound ones; people think of thee as "earth"; I know thee completely as "perdition" (nírṛti).
