HYMN 137 Visvedevas

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 hatb 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.
