Sukta 12
म॒ज्जा म॒ज्ज्ञा सं धी॑यतां॒ चर्म॑णा॒ चर्म॑ रोहतु । असृ॑क् ते॒ अस्थि॑ रोहतु मां॒सं मां॒सेन॑ रोहतु
majjā majjñā sáṃ dhī́yatāṃ cármaṇā cárma rohatú | asṛ́k te ásthi rohatú māṃsáṃ māṃséna rohatú ||
Let marrow with marrow be set in union; with skin let skin grow whole. Let thy blood and bone grow whole; let flesh with flesh grow whole again.
Que la moelle s’unisse à la moelle ; que, par la peau, la peau repousse entière. Que ton sang et ton os se ressoudent ; que la chair, par la chair, redevienne entière.
