2.25.1
शं नो देवी पृश्निपर्ण्यशं निर्ऋत्या अकः ।
उग्रा हि कण्वजम्भनी तामभक्षि सहस्वतीम् ॥ २.२५.१ ॥
The goddess Pṛśniparṇī has made welfare for us and turned harm away from Nirṛti. She is fierce, the crusher of the Kaṇvas; that mighty one I have taken.
2.25.2
सहमानेयं प्रथमा पृश्निपर्ण्यजायत ।
तयाहं दुर्णाम्नां शिरो वृश्चामि शकुनेरिव ॥ २.२५.२ ॥
This overpowering Pṛśniparṇī was the first to be born. By her I cut off the heads of the ill-named, as one would a bird's head.
2.25.3
अरायमसृक्पावानं यश्च स्फातिं जिहीर्षति ।
गर्भादं कण्वं नाशय पृश्निपर्णि सहस्व च ॥ २.२५.३ ॥
Destroy the niggardly blood-drinker who wishes to seize prosperity, the fetus-eating Kaṇva; O Pṛśniparṇī, overpower him.
2.25.4
गिरिमेनामा वेशय कण्वान् जीवितयोपनान् ।
तांस्त्वं देवि पृश्निपर्ण्यग्निरिवानुदहन्न् इहि ॥ २.२५.४ ॥
Cause the life-stealing Kaṇvas to enter this mountain; O goddess Pṛśniparṇī, come here burning them up like fire.
2.25.5
पराच एनान् प्र णुद कण्वान् जीवितयोपनान् ।
तमांसि यत्र गच्छन्ति तत्क्रव्यादो अजीगमम् ॥ २.२५.५ ॥
Drive these life-stealing Kaṇvas far away; to where they go into darkness, I have sent the flesh-eaters.
