The Charm Has Succeeded
Yon sun hath mounted up, and this my happy fate hath mounted high.
I, knowing this, as conqueror have won my husband for mine own.
I am the banner and the head, a mighty arbitress am I:
I am victorious, and my lord shall be submissive to my will.
My sons are slayers of the foe, my daughter is a ruling queen:
I am victorious: o'er my lord my song of triumph is supreme.
Oblation, that which Indra gave and thus grew glorious and most high —
This have I offered, O ye gods, and rid me of each rival wife.
Destroyer of the rival wife, sole spouse, victorious, conqueror,
The others' glory have I seized as 'twere the wealth of weaker dames.
I have subdued as conqueror these rivals, these my fellow-wives,
That I may hold imperial sway over this hero and the folk.
