10.145.2
उत्ता॑नपर्णे॒ सुभ॑गे॒ देव॑जूते॒ सह॑स्वति | स॒पत्नीं॑ मे॒ परा॑ धम॒ पतिं॑ मे॒ केव॑लं कुरु ||
Auspicious, with expanded leaves, sent by the Gods, victorious plant, Blow thou the rival wife away, and make my husband only mine.
10.145.3
उत्त॑रा॒हमु॑त्तर॒ उत्त॒रेदुत्त॑राभ्यः | अथा॑ स॒पत्नी॒ या ममाऽध॑रा॒ साध॑राभ्यः ||
Stronger am 1, O Stronger One, yea, mightier than the mightier; And she who is my rival wife is lower than the lowest dames.
10.145.4
न॒ह्य॑स्या॒ नाम॑ गृ॒भ्णामि॒ नो अ॒स्मिन्र॑मते॒ जने॑ | परा॑मे॒व प॑रा॒वतं॑ स॒पत्नीं॑ गमयामसि ||
Her very name I utter not: she takes no pleasure in this man. Far into distance most remote drive we the rival wife away.
10.145.5
अ॒हम॑स्मि॒ सह॑मा॒नाऽथ॒ त्वम॑सि सास॒हिः | उ॒भे सह॑स्वती भू॒त्वी स॒पत्नीं॑ मे सहावहै ||
I am the conqueror, and thou, thou also act victorious: As victory attends us both we will subdue my fellow-wife.
10.145.6
उप॑ तेऽधां॒ सह॑मानाम॒भि त्वा॑धां॒ सही॑यसा | मामनु॒ प्र ते॒ मनो॑ व॒त्सं गौरि॑व धावतु प॒था वारि॑व धावतु ||
I have gained thee for vanquisher, have grasped thee with a stronger spell. As a cow hastens to her calf, so let thy spirit speed te me, hasten like water on its way.
