To heal serious wounds: with an herb
Grower art thou, grower; grower of severed bone; make this grow, O arundhatī́.

To heal serious wounds: with an herb
To heal serious wounds: with an herb
Grower art thou, grower; grower of severed bone; make this grow, O arundhatī́.
What of thee is torn (riç), what of thee is inflamed (? dyut), is crushed (? péṣṭra) in thyself—may Dhātar excellently put that together again, joint with joint.
Let thy marrow come together with marrow, and thy joint together with joint; together let what of thy flesh has fallen apart, together let thy bone grow over.
Let marrow be put together with marrow; let skin (cárman) grow (ruh) with skin; let thy blood, bone grow; let flesh grow with flesh.
Fit thou together hair with hair; fit together skin (tvác) with skin; let thy blood, bone grow; put together what is severed, O herb.
Do thou here stand up, go forth, run forth, a chariot well-wheeled, well-tired, well-naved; stand firm upright.
If, falling into a pit, he hath been crushed (sam-çṛ), or if a stone hurled (pra-kṛ) hath smitten [him]—as a Ṛbhu the parts of a chariot, may it put together joint with joint.
