The two assailing Piercers, the two down-piercers, yea, the two thorough-piercers—moreover I bind fast his virile member, who from hence hath carried off a woman, a man (as ravisher).
दो छेदने वाले, दो नीचे से छेदने वाले, दो पूरा छेदने वाले। मैं उसकी जांघ बांध देता हूँ। जिसने यहाँ से औरत ले जाए या आदमी उठा के ले जाए।
Rishi: As above (requires anukramaṇī confirmation)
Devata: Bandhana (binding power) and personified tormentors (todin-)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like (to be verified)
Primary: raudra
