xi. 1- perhaps it has blundered in here out of 11 c. Ppp. is corrupt in c and d, but can be seen to read uddharantī in d. The verse and its parts are quoted in Kāuç. 61. 18, 22, 24.

10. Seize in thy hand, O hero, the two joint-acting (sakṛ́t) stones; the worshipful gods have come to thy sacrifice; three boons, whichsoever thou choosest—those successes do I here make successful for thee.

11. This [is] thy thought (? dhītí) and this thy place of birth; let Aditi, of hero-sons, seize thee; cleanse away them that would fight her; confirm to her wealth with all heroes.

12. Sit ye in the wooden blower (? upaçvasá); be ye winnowed, worshipful ones, from the husks. By fortune (çrī́) may we surpass all [our] equals; I make [our] haters to fall under foot.

13. Go away, woman; come back quickly; the stall (goṣṭhá) of the waters hath ascended thee for bearing; seize then of them ⌊f.⌋ whichever shall be worshipful; having shared [them] out wisely, then leave the others.

14. These maidens (yoṣít) have come, adorning themselves; stand up, woman, take hold of the mighty one; well-spoused with husband, progeny-possessing with progeny; to thee hath come the sacrifice; receive thou the vessel (kumbhá).
