Against possession by demons: with an amulet

O thou of ten trees, release this man from the demon, from the seizure (grā́hi) that hath seized him in the joints; then, O forest tree, conduct him up to the world of the living.

English · William Dwight Whitney

This man hath come, hath arisen, hath gone unto the troop (vrā́ta) of the living; he hath become of sons the father and of men (nṛ́) the most fortunate.

English · William Dwight Whitney

He hath attained (adhi-gā) attainments; he hath attained (adhi-gam) the strongholds (-purā) of the living; for a hundred healers are his, also a thousand plants.

English · William Dwight Whitney

The gods have found thy gathering (? cītí), the priests (brahmán) and the plants; all the gods have found thy gathering upon the earth.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

Whoso made, he shall unmake; he verily is best of healers; he himself, clean, shall make for thee remedies, with the healer.
