HYMN LXV

A charm against imprecation and threatened evils

1With retroverted fruit hast thou, O Apāmārga, sprung and
  grown.
 Hence into distance most remote drive every curse away from,
  me.
2Whatever evil we have done, whatever vile or sinful act,
 With thee, O Apāmārga, who lookest all ways, we wipe it off.
3If with the cripple we have lived, whose teeth are black and
  nails deformed,
 With thee, O Apāmārga, we wipe all that ill away from us.
