Sukta 13

Mantra 1

रोगनिवारणम् उत देवा अवहितं देवा उन्नयथा पुनः । उतागश्चक्रुषं देवा देवा जीवयथा पुनः

And, O ye Gods, him who is laid low—O Gods, lift ye him up again. And him who hath committed offense—O Gods, O Gods, make ye him live again.

Mantra 2

द्वाविमौ वातौ वात आ सिन्धोरा परावतः । दक्षं ते अन्य आवातु व्य१न्यो वातु यद् रपः

Two are these Winds, O Wind—one from the Sindhu, one from the far region. Let the one blow hither bringing thy efficacious strength; let the other blow apart, away, whatever harm there is.

Mantra 3

आ वात वाहि भेषजं वि वात वाहि यद्रपः । त्वं हि विश्वभेषज देवानां दूत ईयसे

Hither, O Wind, convey the medicine; away, O Wind, convey whatever harm there is. For thou, the all-medicine, goest as the Gods’ messenger.

Mantra 4

त्रायन्तामिमं देवास्त्रायन्तां मरुतां गणाः । त्रायन्तां विश्वा भूतानि यथायमरपा असत्

Let the Gods protect this man; let the hosts of the Maruts protect (him). Let all beings protect (him), that this one may be without harm.

Mantra 5

आ त्वागमं शंतातिभिरथो अरिष्टतातिभिः । दक्षं त उग्रमाभारिषं परा यक्ष्मं सुवामि ते

Hither have I come unto thee with bestowals of peace, yea, with bestowals of unhurt security. For thee have I brought strong, vigorous power: from thee I drive the wasting Yakṣma far away.

Mantra 6

अयं मे हस्तो भगवानयं मे भगवत्तरः । अयं मे विश्वभेषजोऽयं शिवाभिमर्शनः

This hand of mine is blessed; this hand of mine is yet more richly blessed. This is my universal medicine; this is a touch of auspicious healing.

Mantra 7

हस्ताभ्यां दशशाखाभ्यां जिह्वा वाचः पुरोगवी। अनामयित्नुभ्यां हस्ताभ्यां ताभ्यां त्वाभि मृशामसि

With hands, ten-branched with fingers, while the tongue goes foremost of speech, with hands that make for freedom from disease—with those two hands we touch thee over.
