भैषज्यम्। कृष्णं नियानं हरयः सुपर्णा अपो वसाना दिवमुत् पतन्ति । त आववृत्रन्त्सदनादृतस्यादिद् घृतेन पृथिवीं व्यूऽदुः

A remedy is this: the dark, down-leading (mass); the tawny, fair-winged ones, clad with waters, fly aloft to heaven. They encompassed the seat of Order; and then, with ghee, they opened and moistened the Earth abroad.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often anonymous/Angiras-type attribution in AV healing hymns)
Devata: Āpas (Waters), with Marutic/cloud agencies implied
Chandas: Mixed; predominantly Triṣṭubh-like cadence in Saunaka book 6 hymnic style
