> HYMN CXCI. Water. Grass. Sun.

> 1. VENOMOUS, slightly venomous, or venomous aquatic worm,�"
> Both creatures, stinging, unobserved, with poison have infected me.
> 2 Coming, it kills the unobserved; it kills them as it goes away,
> It kills them as it drives them off, and bruising bruises them to death.
> 3 Sara grass, Darbha, KuÅara, and Sairya, Muñja, VÄ«raá¹a,
> Where all these creatures dwell unseen, with poison have infected me.
> 4 The cows had settled in their stalls, the beasts of prey had sought their
> lairs,
> Extinguished were the lights of men, when things unseen infected me.
> 5 Or these, these reptiles, are observed, like lurking thieves at evening
> time.
> Seers of all, themselves unseen: be therefore very vigilant.
> 6 Heaven is your Sire, your Mother Earth, Soma your Brother, Aditi
> Your Sister: seeing all, unseen, keep still and dwell ye happily.
> 7 Biters of shoulder or of limb, with needle-stings, most venomous,
> Unseen, whatever ye may be, vanish together and be gone.
> 8 Slayer of things unseen, the Sun, beheld of all, mounts, eastward, up,
> Consuming all that are not seen, and evil spirits of the night.
> 9 There hath the Sun-God mounted up, who scorches much and everything.
> Even the Äditya from the hills, all-seen, destroying things unseen.
> 10 I hang the poison in the Sun, a wine-skin in a vintner's house,
> He will not die, nor shall we die: his path is far: he whom Bay Horses bear
> hath turned thee to sweet meath.
> 11 This little bird, so very small, hath swallowed all thy poison up.
> She will not die, nor shall we die: his path is far: he whom Bay Horses bear
> hath turned thee to sweet meath.
> 12 The three-times-seven bright sparks of fire have swallowed up the poison's
> strength.
> They will not die, nor shall we die: his path is far: he whom Bay Horses bear
> hath turned thee to sweet meath.
> 13 Of ninety rivers and of nine with power to stay the venom's course,�"
> The names of all I have secured: his path is far: he whom Bay Horses bear
> hath turned thee to sweet meath.
> 14 So have the peahens three-times-seven, so have the maiden Sisters Seven
> Carried thy venom far away, as girls bear water in their jars.
> 15 The poison-insect is so small; I crush the creature with a stone.
> I turn the poison hence away, departed unto distant lands.
> 16 Forth issuing from the mountain's side the poison-insect spake and said:
> Scorpion, they venom is but weak.
