Against yellowness (jaundice)

English · William Dwight Whitney

Against yellowness (jaundice)

Let them (both) go up toward the sun, thy heart-burn (-dyota) and yellowness; with the color of the red bull, with that we enclose (pari-dhā) thee.

2
English · William Dwight Whitney

With red colors we enclose thee, in order to length of life; that this man may be free from complaints (-rápas), also may become not yellow.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

They that have the red one for divinity, and the kine that are red—form after form, vigor (váyas) after vigor, with them we enclose thee.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

In the parrots, in the ropaṇā́kās, we put thy yellowness; likewise in the hā́ridravas we deposit thy yellowness.
