AVŚ 8.4.17

प्र या जिगाति खर्गलेव नक्तम् अप द्रुहुस् तन्वं१ गूहमाना । वव्रम् अनन्तम् अव सा पदीष्टिअ ग्रावाणो घ्नन्तु रक्षस उपब्दैः ॥१७॥

pra yā jigāti khargaleva naktam apa druhus tanvaṃ1 gūhamānā | vavram anantam ava sā padīṣṭia grāvāṇo ghnantu rakṣasa upabdaiḥ ||17||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

She who goes forth in the night like an owl (?), hateful, hiding herself away—may she fall down into an endless hole (vavrá); let the [pressing-] stones smite the demoniacs with [their] noises.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
