These mares come springing forward to Pratipa Prātisutvana.
4. One of them is Hariknikā. Hariknikā, what seekest thou?
6. The excellent, the golden son: where now hast thou aban- doned him?
8. There where around those distant trees, three Sisus that are standing there,
10. Three adders, breathing angrily, are blowing loud the threatening horn.
12. Hither hath come a stallion: he is known by droppings on his way,
14. As by their dung the course of kine. What wouldst thou in the home of men?
16. Barley and ripened rice I seek. On rice and barley hast thou fed,
18. As the big serpent feeds on sheep. Cow's hoof and horse's tail hast thou,
20. Winged with a falcon's pinion is that harmless swelling of thy tongue.
