As the best of the plants thou art reputed, O herb: turn this man for me to-day into a eunuch that wears his hair dressed!\n 2. Turn him into a eunuch that wears his hair dressed, and into one that wears a hood! Then Indra with a pair of stones shall break his testicles both!\n 3. O eunuch, into a eunuch thee I have turned;O castrate, into a castrate thee I have turned; O weakling, into a weakling thee I have turned! A hood upon his head, and a hair-net do we place.\n 4. The two canals, fashioned by the gods, in which man's power rests, in thy testicles . . . . . . . . . . . . I break them with a club.\n 5. As women break reeds for a mattress with a stone, thus do I break thy member.","title":"Atharva Veda: IV. Charms Pertaining to Women (Strikarat\u00e2ni): VI, 138.
