आद॒ङ्गा कु॒विद॒ङ्गा श॒तं या भे॑ष॒जानि॑ ते । तेषा॑मसि॒ त्वमु॑त्त॒मम॑नास्रा॒वमरो॑गणम्

Then, O ye members, O ye that know the members, the hundred remedies that are thine—of these thou art the highest: a stay of all outflow, a banisher of disease.
So denn, o Glieder; o ihr, die ihr die Glieder kennt: die hundert Heilmittel, die dir gehören — unter ihnen bist du das höchste: ein Hemmer allen Ausflusses, ein Vertreiber der Krankheit.
