आपो॒ अग्रं दि॒व्या ओष॑धयः । तास्ते॒ यक्ष्म॑मेन॒स्य॑१मङ्गा॑दङ्गादनीनशन्
ā́po ágraṃ divyā́ óṣadhayaḥ | tā́s te yákṣmam enasyàm áṅgād áṅgād anīnaśan ||
The Waters are first; divine are the Herbs: they, for thee, have driven out the sin-tainted yakṣma, from limb after limb.
पानी सबसे पहले है, और सारी जड़ी-बूटियाँ भगवान की देन हैं। यह दोनों मिलकर बिमारी को भगा देती हैं। अंग से अंग निकल के वो पाप और बिमारी दोनों दूर कर देती हैं।
