Sukta 138

Mantra 1

क्लबत्वम्। त्वं वीरुधां श्रेष्ठतमाभिश्रुतास्योषधे । इमं मे अद्य पुरुषं क्लीबमोपशिनं कृधि

Impotence: Thou art the most excellent of plants, a herb of famed repute. Make this man for me, even to-day, impotent and submissive.

Mantra 2

क्लीबं कृध्योपशिनमथो कुरीरिणं कृधि । अथास्येन्द्रो ग्रावभ्यामुभे भिनत्त्वाण्ड्यौऽ

Make him impotent, the stealthy prowler; yea, make the kūrīra-bearing fellow impotent. Then let Indra, with the two pressing-stones, cleave for him both testicles asunder.

Mantra 3

क्लीब क्लीबं त्वाकरं वध्रे वध्रिं त्वाकरमरसारसं त्वाकरम्। कुरीरमस्य शीर्षणि कुम्बं चाधिनिदध्मसि

Impotent art thou—impotent have I made thee; a gelding, a gelding have I made thee; sapless, void of vital essence have I made thee. Upon his head we set the kūrīra, and we set thereon a pot as well.

Mantra 4

ये ते नाड्यौऽदेवकृते ययोस्तिष्ठति वृष्ण्यम्। ते ते भिनद्मि शम्ययामुष्या अधि मुष्कयोः

Those two ducts of thine, god-fashioned, wherein thy virile might is set—those do I cleave for thee with a wooden wedge, upon the testicles of yonder man.

Mantra 5

यथा नडं कशिपुने स्त्रियो भिन्दन्त्यश्मना । एवा भिनद्मि ते शेपोऽमुष्या अधि मुष्कयोः

As women, for their basket-work, split a reed with a stone, even so do I cleave thy member—of yonder man—upon the testicles.
