The Rig Veda/Mandala 10/Hymn 137

1. YE Gods, raise up once more the man whom ye have humbled and brought low.
     O Gods, restore to life again the man who hath committed sin.
2. Two several winds are blowing here, from Sindhu, from a distant land.
     May one breathe energy to thee, the other blow disease away.
3. Hither, O Wind, blow healing balm, blow all disease away, thou Wind;
     For thou who hast all medicine comest as envoy of the Gods.
4. I am come nigh to thee with balms to give thee rest and keep thee safe.
     I bring thee blessed strength, I drive thy weakening malady away.
5. Here let the Gods deliver him, the Maruts' band deliver him:
     All things that be deliver him that he be freed from his disease.
6. The Waters have their healing power, the Waters drive disease away.
     The Waters have a balm for all: let them make medicine for thee.
7. The tongue that leads the voice precedes. Then with our ten-fold branching hands,
     With these two chasers of disease we stroke thee with a gentle touch.
