Sukta 8
या गुदा॑ अनु॒सर्प॑न्त्या॒न्त्राणि॑ मो॒हय॑न्ति च । अहिं॑सन्तीरनाम॒या निर्द्र॑वन्तु ब॒हिर्बिल॑म्
yā́ gudā́t anusárpanty ā́ntrāṇi moháyanti ca | ahíṃsantīr anāmayā́ nírdravantu bahírbilám ||
She that, creeping on from the anus, confounds the intestines as well—harmless, unailing, let her run forth, away, unto the outer burrow.
Die, die vom After herankriechend auch die Därme verwirrt—harmlos, ohne Siechtum—soll hinauslaufen, fort, in den äußeren Bau.
