For healing

Both, O ye gods, him that is put down, O ye gods, ye lead up again, and him that hath done evil (ā́gas), O ye gods, O ye gods, ye make to live again.

English · William Dwight Whitney

These two winds blow from the river as far as the distance; let the one blow hither dexterity for thee; let the other blow away what complaint (rápas) [thou hast].

3

Hither, O wind, blow healing; away, O wind, blow what complaint [there is]; for thou, all-healing one, goest [as] messenger of the gods.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

Let the gods rescue this man, let the troops of Maruts rescue, let all beings rescue, that this man may be free from complaints.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

I have come unto thee with wealfulnesses, likewise with uninjurednesses; I have brought for thee formidable dexterity; I drive (sū) away for thee the yákṣma.

6
English · William Dwight Whitney

This is my fortunate hand, this my more fortunate one, this my all-healing one; this is of propitious touch.

7
English · William Dwight Whitney

With (two) ten-branched hands—the tongue [is] forerunner of voice—with (two) disease-removing hands: with them do we touch thee.
