Hymn Xliii


The Same

1For stranger and for friend alike this Darbha-grass removeth

wrath.

Soother of Anger is it called because it calms the angry man.

2This Plant that hath abundant roots spreads to the place where

waters meet.

Soother of anger is the name Darbha-grass that springs from

earth.

3We draw thine obstinacy forth, set in thy mouth and in thy jaw:

So dost thou yield thee to my will. to speak no more rebelli-

ously.
