6.14.1

अस्थिस्रंसं परुस्रंसमास्थितं हृदयामयम् ।
बलासं सर्वं नाशयाङ्गेष्ठा यश्च पर्वसु ॥ ६.१४.१ ॥

Bone-slipping, joint-slipping, the disease lodged in the heart — destroy all Balāsa, whatever is in the limbs and in the joints.

निर्बलासं बलासिनः क्षिणोमि मुष्करं यथा ।
छिनद्म्यस्य बन्धनं मूलमुर्वार्वा इव ॥ ६.१४.२ ॥

I drive the Balāsa out from the one who has it, as one pulls out a testicle; I cut its bond at the root, as one cuts a cucumber stem.

निर्बलासेतः प्र पताशुङ्गः शिशुको यथा ।
अथो इत इव हायनोऽप द्राह्यवीरहा ॥ ६.१४.३ ॥

Let the Balāsa fly off from here, swift as a little child; and away from here, like a yearling, let it depart — the slayer of strong men.
