3.18.1
इमां खनाम्योषधिं वीरुधां बलवत्तमाम् ।
यया सपत्नीं बाधते यया संविन्दते पतिम् ॥ ३.१८.१ ॥
I dig up this herb, most powerful of creepers, by which the wife afflicts her rival co-wife and by which she wins her husband.
3.18.2
उत्तानपर्णे सुभगे देवजूते सहस्वति ।
सपत्नीं मे परा णुद पतिं मे केवलं कृधि ॥ ३.१८.२ ॥
O you with upturned leaves, auspicious, impelled by the gods, mighty one, push my rival co-wife far away; make my husband mine alone.
3.18.3
नहि ते नाम जग्राह नो अस्मिन् रमसे पतौ ।
परामेव परावतं सपत्नीं गमयामसि ॥ ३.१८.३ ॥
She has not taken your name, nor do you delight in this husband; we send the rival co-wife far, far away.
3.18.4
उत्तराहमुत्तर उत्तरेदुत्तराभ्यः ।
अधः सपत्नी या ममाधरा साधराभ्यः ॥ ३.१८.४ ॥
I am higher, higher still, higher than the highest; my rival co-wife is lower, lower than the lowest.
3.18.5
अहमस्मि सहमानाथो त्वमसि सासहिः ।
उभे सहस्वती भूत्वा सपत्नीं मे सहावहै ॥ ३.१८.५ ॥
I am the victorious one, and you too are the conqueror; both of us, becoming mighty, let us together overcome my rival co-wife.
3.18.6
अभि तेऽधां सहमानामुप तेऽधां सहीयसीम् ।
मामनु प्र ते मनो वत्सं गौरिव धावतु पथा वारिव धावतु ॥ ३.१८.६ ॥
For you I set forward the one who overcomes; near you I set the mightier one. May your mind run after me as a cow runs after her calf, as water runs along its path.
