Avaunt, monster! You may pride yourself on the magic that renders you invisible, but my arrow shall find you out. Thus do I fix a shaft That shall discern between an impious demon, And a good Bráhman; bearing death to thee, To him deliverance--even as the swan Distinguishes the milk from worthless water (101). (Takes aim. Enter MÁTALI[102) holding MÁ (T.) HAVYA, whom he releases. MÁTALI. Turn thou thy deadly arrows on the demons; Such is the will of Indra; let thy bow Be drawn against the enemies of the gods; But on thy friends cast only looks of favour.
