ब॒हिर्बिलं॒ निर्द्र॑वतु॒ काहा॑बाहं॒ तवो॒दरा॑त्। यक्ष्मा॑णां॒ सर्वे॑षां वि॒षं निर॑वोचम॒हं त्वत्

Out through the hole let the kāhābāha run forth from thy belly. From thee I have spoken forth the poison of all the yakṣmās.
Melalui lubang itu biarlah kāhābāha mengalir keluar dari perutmu. Daripada engkau telah aku ucapkan keluar racun segala yakṣma.
